Brussels Sprouts With Pancetta Balsamic Vinegar And Parmesan Food

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees and grease a large baking sheet. Cut Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise and place in a large bowl with olive oil, toss to coat.
• Sprinkle on top salt, pepper, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese, stir well to combine. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and turn all of the Brussels sprouts over so that they are flat-side down. Bake for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
• While Brussels sprouts are cooking, prepare the balsamic glaze. Add balsamic vinegar to a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil for 6-8 minutes until reduced to half the original volume. Remove from heat, stir in honey, garlic powder, and salt. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool, when ready to serve drizzle over Brussels sprouts.

BALSAMIC-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the Brussels sprouts on a sheet pan, including some of the loose leaves, which get crispy when they're roasted. Add the pancetta, olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, toss with your hands, and spread out in a single layer. Roast the Brussels sprouts for 20 to 30 minutes, until they're tender and nicely browned and the pancetta is cooked. Toss once during roasting. Remove from the oven, drizzle immediately with the balsamic vinegar, and toss again. Taste for seasonings, and serve hot.

• Toss together Brussels sprouts, pancetta, garlic, oil, and salt and pepper to taste in an 11- by 7-inch baking pan and spread in 1 layer.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix bread crumbs and thyme with 1/4 cup olive oil, and spread on a cookie sheet. Toast, tossing frequently, until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Heat butter and remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foamy. Add brussels sprouts, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sauté, tossing frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add diced pancetta, and sauté, tossing frequently, until sprouts are well browned and softened slightly, and pancetta is crisp, about 10 minutes more. Reduce heat, add shallots and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, 2 minutes.
• Increase heat to high, add balsamic vinegar and stock, and cook, tossing frequently, until sprouts are glazed and tender, about 10 minutes; add more stock if needed. Taste, adjusting seasoning if necessary, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Transfer to a warm serving bowl and scatter bread crumbs on top.
