Prep Time

15 minutes

Cooking Time

30 minutes

Serving Size

Serves 2

Ingredients:

2 cups Brussels sprouts

¼ cup dried cherries

¼ cup pine nuts

2 tbsps olive oil

Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160° Fan / 350°F / Gas Mark 4.

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil.

Trim the ends and wash the Brussels sprouts well.

Parboil the Brussels sprouts for 7–9 minutes or until fork-tender.

Transfer the parboiled Brussels sprouts to a large mixing bowl.

Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.

Transfer the coated Brussels sprouts to a baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer, and roast for 15 minutes, or until they turn golden-brown.

While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, chop the dried cherries into small pieces and toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Once the Brussels sprouts are done, transfer them to a serving dish, and sprinkle the toasted pine nuts and dried cherries over the top.

Gently toss everything to combine, and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Serve the Roasted Brussels Sprouts and enjoy!

Additional Notes:

To make the Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pine Nuts and Dried Cherries even more flavourful, you can consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Additionally, you might want to experiment with adding a touch of honey or maple syrup to the Brussels sprouts before roasting for a hint of sweetness. These variations can complement the dish and elevate its overall taste.
