Seared And Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Red Pepper And Mint Gremolata Recipes

Steps:

• Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast, tossing halfway through, until tender and charred in spots, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the grapes and thyme and cook, tossing, until the grapes start to burst, about 4 minutes. Add the scallions and honey. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the juices thicken and the grapes are glazed, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish; spoon the grapes over the top and sprinkle with the hazelnuts.

Steps:

• Trim the ends off the brussels sprouts, and cut in half lengthwise through the stem end.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. When the skillet is just short of smoking, place the brussels sprouts cut side down in the oil. Turn the heat to medium, and sear on one side until nicely browned, about three minutes. Turn the brussels sprouts over and cook on the other side until nicely browned and tender, three to five minutes. Some of the leaves can be charred dark brown or black. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Puree 1 cup fresh mint with 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons each grated parmesan and toasted hazelnuts, 1 garlic clove and 1/2 teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper. Toss 1 1/2 pounds halved trimmed Brussels sprouts with olive oil on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Toast at 425 degrees F, tossing halfway through, until golden and tender, 25 minutes; toss with the mint pesto.

Steps:

• Position the baking rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425[dg]F. In a large bowl, toss the brussels sprouts with oil and a few pinches of salt. Spread the brussels sprouts over a shallow baking pan and roast for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sprouts are lightly browned and crispy.
• While the brussels sprouts are roasting, in a small saucepan combine the pomegranate juice with the sugar and set over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. When the liquid comes to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer until the liquid is reduced to one quarter of the original amount and is thick and syrupy, about 25 minutes. Toward the end, watch the reduction carefully - it can go from thick to burned in a matter of seconds. Transfer the reduction to a cooling rack and let it come to room temperature. Do not refrigerate.
• Drizzle the reduction over the brussels sprouts and sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets or baking dishes with parchment or foil and brush with olive oil. Place the Brussels sprouts on one and mushrooms on the other and toss each with salt and pepper to taste and 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil. Roast together in the oven, or 1 sheet at a time, for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. The Brussels sprouts should be browned on the edges and tender. The mushrooms should be soft and there should be juice on the baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together garlic, parsley and lemon zest (this is the gremolata).
• Tip mushrooms, with the juice in the baking dish, into a large bowl. Add Brussels sprouts and gremolata and toss together. Spoon quinoa onto plates or into wide bowls, top with the Brussels sprouts and mushrooms, spoon on any juice remaining in the bowl, top with crumbled feta or goat cheese if desired and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
• Place trimmed Brussels sprouts, olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal tightly, and shake to coat. Pour onto a baking sheet, and place on center oven rack.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, shaking pan every 5 to 7 minutes for even browning. Reduce heat when necessary to prevent burning. Brussels sprouts should be darkest brown, almost black, when done. Adjust seasoning with kosher salt, if necessary. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 500 degrees. Toss Brussels sprouts, 3 tbsp oil, water, ¾ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper in a large bowl until sprouts are coated. Transfer sprouts to rimmed baking sheet and arrange so cut sides face down. Cover sheet tightly with aluminum foil and roast for 10 minutes.
• Heat remaining 3 tbsp of oil in 8-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook until garlic is golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Remove foil and continue to cook until Brussels sprouts are well browned and tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to serving platter, toss with garlic oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve. Serves 6 to 8 as a side dish.

Steps:

• Peel off the outer leaves of the brussels sprouts. Slice off about 1/8" from the stem of the brussels sprouts. Score an "x" in the bottom of the stem end. Steam until tender.
• Saute pepper, onion, and garlic in butter until tender and beginning to brown. Add brussels and brown further. Add lemon and stir around.
