Can u make ahead? Need the oven space:(
This is exactly the way I've been making brussels sprouts for at least 30 years. I've used this recipe to convert many brussels sprouts haters to brussels sprouts addicts. My daughter, who would gag at the mention of brussels sprouts when she was little, now tries to hog them all for herself whenever I make them this way. This is one of my all time favorite vegetable recipes, and it has the benefit of being really easy to make.
Chopped prosciutto or pancetta works well in here, as does a bit of Balsamic instead of Worcestershire. I also mince the shallots, and they caramelize to a sweet note that compliments the sprouts nicely.
Really delicious. But they need to be eaten quickly, as the dressing makes the crispy parts soggy....
5 stars!! Has graced our table across multiple holidays and meals, always with rave reviews!
I fixed this for my brother 2 yrs ago and he's still talking about it. Served it with some thick, tender pork chops. He just came up from MS to visit me, so guess what's on the menu at his request. It's pretty delectable, so we're happy to have it as often as needed!
