Cranberry Pecan Roasted Brussels Sprouts Food

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CRANBERRIES AND PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400° F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• Wash and trim the ends from the Brussels sprouts. Remove any dark outer leaves and slice them in half from top to bottom.
• In a large bowl, combine the trimmed Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the sprouts in the oil and arrange on the baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until the sprouts are tender with crispy, dark roasted outer leaves. Remove from the oven and toss with the pecans and dried cranberries and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PECANS AND CRANBERRIES

Steps:

• Slice the Brussels sprouts using the thinnest slicing disk of a food processor. If you do not have a food processor, you may slice thinly with a knife or a mandoline.
• Set a 10-inch straight-sided saute pan over medium-high heat and add the pecans. Cook, stirring continually, until the pecans darken in color and begin to give off a toasted aroma, approximately 2 minutes. Add the butter to the pan and stir to combine. Once the butter has melted, add the Brussels sprouts, salt and pepper and cook, stirring continually, until the color brightens and the sprouts are just tender, approximately 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the cranberries, toss and serve.
