Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Cranberries and Toasted Walnuts
A delicious side dish for any time of year, but festive for the holidays!
Ingredients
- 2 LB Fresh Brussel Sprouts, cleaned and halved smaller sprouts result in more flavorful dish
- 2-3 (+) tbsp Cultivated Tree Garlic Infused Olive Oil Tuscan Herb is great as well!
- 2-3 (+) tbsp Cultivated Tree Cranberry Pear White Balsamic
- 1 small Shallot - minced
- 1/4 cup Toasted Walnuts
- 1/4 cup Dried Cranberries (Crasins)
- 2 tbsp Brandy or Makers Mark - enough to coat the cranberries to reconstitute the dried cranberries
Instructions
-
Pre heat the oven to 400°F and line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.
-
In a bowl or directly on the sheet pan with parchment, liberally coat the brussel sprouts with Garlic Infused Olive Oil. Season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. If done in a bowl - spread evenly onto the sheet pan.
-
Roast in the oven for 10 minutes. While the brussel sprouts roast, mince the shallot and place in a small bowl and coat lightly with garlic infused olive oil.
-
In a separate small bowl, combine the dried cranberries and the brandy, Makers Mark - or Cranberry Pear White Balsamic. Let sit the entire roasting process.
-
After 10 minutes of roasting, remove the brussel sprouts and turn them with a spatula. Spread them out and then add the shallots and drizzle with the 2-3 tablespoons of Cranberry Pear White Balsamic. Return to the oven to continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes. Typically 20 minutes is about the perfect time. (As long as you pre heated your oven)
-
Toast your walnuts (in the oven or a small skillet watching them closely as they can over toast quickly.) Drain your cranberries.
-
Remove the brussel sprouts from the oven. Transfer to your serving dish, mix in the cranberries and walnuts. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper - drizzle a little additional Cranberry Pear White Balsamic and serve.
