Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries delivers crispy-edged sprouts seasoned simply with olive oil, salt, and pepper, complemented by the sweet chew of dried cranberries added midway through roasting. The technique highlights the natural nuttiness of the sprouts enhanced by caramelization and contrasting fruity notes.
Ingredients
- 3 cups brussels sprout halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ½ cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Heat up the oven at 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Place the brussels sprouts on the baking sheet and season with oil, salt, and pepper.
- Cook them for about 20 minutes, then mix in the cranberries, and then cook for another 10 minutes or until they’re tender.
Notes
- Roasting time varies by sprout size and oven; check tenderness toward end of cooking.
- Preheating the baking sheet can improve caramelization and crispness of sprouts.
- Avoid overcrowding the tray to prevent steaming and ensure sprouts roast evenly and become crispy.
- Soaking cranberries in hot water or juice makes them plumper and mildly sweeter before adding to the roasting.
