Ingredients

  • 1 lb Brussels Sprouts
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon crushed black pepper
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoon sliced almonds
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F.
  • Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise.
    1 lb Brussels Sprouts
  • Line and sheet pan with parchment paper and layer the Brussels Sprouts on it. Drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper. Toss them together.
    2 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon crushed black pepper
  • Bake in the oven for 25-35 mins until brown at the edges and crispy.
  • Meanwhile, in a light colored pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Let the butter heat up till it starts turning brown. Turn off the heat at this time to avoid burning it.
    1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • In a pan over medium heat, toast the almond slices till they start to turn brown. Remove from the hot pan and keep aside.
    2 tablespoon sliced almonds
  • Once the Brussels sprouts are ready, move them to a serving bowl / platter. Top with dried cranberries and toasted almonds.
    ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • Pour the warm brown butter over it and give it a quick mix.

Notes

Using a light colored sauce pan, like a stainless steel one, can help you see the butter browning and not burn it.
