This recipe begins with roasted Brussels sprouts. But not just any Brussels sprouts…crispy Brussels sprouts! And we have a few tips to ensure success.
Tips for Crispy Brussels Sprouts
Avoid overcrowding the pan – space between the Brussels sprouts allows them to roast instead of steaming. High heat (450 F / 232 C) – a high temperature ensures the Brussels sprouts brown before they soften too much. No soggy Brussels sprouts here. Dry them off – After washing the sprouts, make sure to dry them completely to encourage browning. Arrange cut side down – placing the flat side of the Brussels sprouts directly on the baking sheet maximizes their contact with the hot surface, which creates browning. Cook directly on the baking sheet – for the same reason as above, it’s best to cook them directly on the baking sheet instead of using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, there’s time to prepare your toppings. Toast the almonds in a skillet and chop a couple medjool dates. The time it takes for the Brussels sprouts to soften will depend on their size, but after about 15 minutes, they’ll be tender with caramelized, crispy edges. Anyone else dive straight for the crispy edges!? You could stop there, but it gets even better. After tossing the roasted Brussels sprouts with sweet honey and dates, crunchy toasted almonds, and smoky Dukkah seasoning, a restaurant-worthy side dish awaits!
