Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Place them on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Season the Sprouts

    Drizzle the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Roast the Sprouts

    Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown. Toss them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

  4. 4

    Fry the Capers

    While the sprouts are roasting, heat a small pan over medium heat. Add capers and fry until they are crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Pistachio Vinaigrette

    In a blender, combine shelled pistachios, your choice of vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  6. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the Brussels sprouts are done, remove them from the oven. In a large bowl, combine the roasted Brussels sprouts, crispy capers, dried cherries, and balsamic glaze. Toss gently to combine.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Drizzle with pistachio vinaigrette before serving. Enjoy your Almost Famous Sprouts!
