Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your wood-fired oven to a temperature of 425°F (220°C). If using a conventional oven, you can also set it to this temperature.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut them in half lengthwise for even cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, and place it on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Once cool, chop into small pieces.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well coated.

  2. 5

    Add Bacon and Cherries

    Add the chopped bacon and dried tart cherries to the Brussels sprouts mixture. Toss to combine all ingredients evenly.

  3. 6

    Roast the Brussels Sprouts

    Spread the Brussels sprouts mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Add Parmesan

    Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to distribute the cheese evenly.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving platter. Drizzle with Calabrian chili aioli before serving. Enjoy warm!
