Crispy Brussels Sprouts

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Brussels Sprouts

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pancetta

    While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Smoked Honey Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked honey and lemon juice until well combined. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Lemon Crema

    In another bowl, mix the sour cream with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the Brussels sprouts are done, toss them with the crispy pancetta and chopped dried apricots. Drizzle the smoked honey vinaigrette over the top and serve with a dollop of lemon crema.
