Lemon Roasted Brussels sprouts
Ingredients
1-1½ # of trimmed, cleaned, and cut in half Brussels sprouts
1-2 tbsp grapeseed oil (can use olive oil, but grapeseed oil has a higher smoke temp and doesn't denature at the higher temps), we used 1 tbsp for a lighter roast, if you want them to brown up more, increase oil to desired amount
1½ tbsp fresh lemon juice
zest from one lemon, about 1 tsp
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
⅓ cup dried tart cherries (to be added after roasting) soaked in warm water and drained
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400.
Cut sprouts in half, place in large bowl
Mix 1 tbsp of lemon juice (reserve ½ tbsp for after roasting), zest, oil, salt, and pepper together, and add to sprouts. Mix well.
Spread cut side down on a stone cookie sheet, or other roasting pan and roast for 12 minutes, or until bottom of sprouts are golden. If leaves are left on their own, place on a separate sheet and roast just until crisp about 5- 8 minutes, for a nice, healthy chip.
To serve:
season with additional pepper and/or extra lemon juice if desired. Add in tart cherries and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Best served right away, but also good the next day or 2 on salads or as a snack.
