Roasted Garlic Brussels Sprouts with Maple Balsamic and Toasted Marcona Almonds

Our little neighborhood in the north eastern suburbs of Seattle has been developing a lot in the last couple of years and many a new restaurants have opened up near us. All good , fancy kinds, that we can go for a nice date night right in our neighborhood.

One of them is an Italian restaurant and we frequent that place, mostly because the kiddo loves his spaghetti with meatballs and marinara sauce and his Italian soda. But, we also love their food and the wine list is pretty awesome too.

One of my favorite things, or actually two of my favorite things from the menu is Bruxelles Frito and Arancini. The Bruxelles Frito is Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Toasted Marcona Almonds, Roasted Garlic, Romano Cheese and Aged Balsamico. This is my attempt at recreating the Bruxelles Frito at home, only, I made it a tad more garlicky. Instead of roasting the garlic separately, which will take a whole lot longer, I added the garlic to the sheet pan with the Brussels sprouts and also made a balsamic reduction and added some maple syrup to make it a little sweeter, because that is how I like it.

  • Roast in the oven for about 30-40 mins, tossing again once in between.
  • Meanwhile, pour the balsamic vinegar into a sauce pan. Bring it to a slow boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer away for 20-25 mins or so. Once it has reduced to almost half (about ¼ cup), add the maple syrup to it and mix well. Remove from heat and keep aside.
  • Once the Brussels sprouts are cooked through and beginning to get a little crispy, remove from oven and keep.
  • Move the Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl and toss with the pecorino romano cheese and toasted marcona almonds. Drizzle the maple balsamic reduction over it and toss well again. Serve warm.
