About the Recipe

A flavorful yet simple Easter side dish. These Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts are deliciously crispy and caramelized with a maple glaze.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb. small Brussels sprouts, trimmed

  • kosher salt

  • black pepper

  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

  • 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil

  • 2 oz. Pecorino cheese, crumbled

  • 1/4 cup roasted unsalted almonds, roughly chopped

Preparation

Cook and cool the Brussels sprouts and make the dressing; can refrigerate separately for up to one day.


  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water.

  2. Cut a shallow "x" (1/4 to 1/2 inch) in the core end of each Brussels sprout (halve any large ones). This helps the core to cook evenly. Add to the pot of boiling water with 1 tablespoon salt and cook until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and transfer to the bowl of ice water to cool. Drain, dry and refrigerate for up to 1 day.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon and maple syrup, transfer to a small jar and refrigerate for 1 day.

  4. To serve, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the Brussels sprouts, shaking the pan occasionally until heated through and starting to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.

  5. Add the lemon mixture and cook, tossing to coat, about 1 minute; remove from heat. Add the pecorino and almonds and toss to coat.
