Smashed Sprouts Mash With Chestnuts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Trim Brussels sprouts and discard any yellow outer leaves.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add Brussels sprouts, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well, pat dry, and transfer to the baking sheet.
• Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Spread out evenly on the baking sheet. Use a Mason jar or other heavy object to press Brussels sprouts into flat patties.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Cover with Parmesan cheese. Broil until cheese starts to brown, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F with a sheet pan on the bottom rack.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and boil until tender throughout, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool under running water. Pat very dry with kitchen towels.
• Flatten each sprout with a meat mallet. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with 1/2 cup of the manchego, the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Spread on the preheated sheet pan and roast until crispy on the bottom, 13 to 15 minutes.
• Flip the sprouts and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup manchego. Roast until the tops are browned and crusty and the bottoms are deeply caramelized, 13 to 15 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 175 C or 350°F.
• Clean up the sprouts by removing any outside leaves that look a bit old and then parboil them in unsalted water for about 4-6 minutes.
• Drain and put in a food processor, along with the cream and some salt and pepper.
• Whizz for about 20 seconds until they're just roughly chopped but not a purée.
• Stir in the parmesan, leaving a bit aside.
• Put in an ovenproof dish and sprinkle the remaining parmesan over the top.
• Bake until the top gets a fine, crunchy crust.
