Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Brussels Sprouts with Apple and Bacon Hash

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

INGREDIENTS

 

  • 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
  • 3 tablespoons good olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves. Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour them on a sheet pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly. Sprinkle with more kosher salt ( I like these salty like French fries), and serve immediately.

Brussels Sprouts with Apple and Bacon Hash

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved if large
  • 2 red onions, unpeeled, halved lengthwise
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 apple, cored
  • 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 6 ounces thick-cut bacon (about 4 slices), cut into 1/2-inch pieces

DIRECTIONS

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss brussels sprouts and onions with just enough oil to coat; season with salt and pepper. Spread vegetables in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Fill center of apple with butter, and add to baking sheet. Roast until tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes for the apple, 40 to 45 minutes for the vegetables.

Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until fat renders and bacon begins to crisp, about 12 minutes. Pour off most fat, leaving behind enough to coat bottom of pan.

When onion and apple are cool enough to handle, cut into pieces about the size of brussels sprouts. Add onion, apple, and brussels sprouts to skillet, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 15 minutes.
