Roasted Brussel Sprouts With Pear and Pistachio image

Another great find at Food52, stored here for easy retention. After preparing per directions, but without the lemon juice, I topped it with teriyaki sauce (mango-pineapple), and WOW! Was that good! Might even toss in a little crushed red pepper next time for a sweet and hot flavor.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb Brussels sprout, halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 grinds black pepper
1 bosc pear, halved lengthwise and cored
1/4 cup shelled pistachios, chopped coarsely
1/2 large lemon, juice of

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F Place the prepared brussels sprouts on a baking sheet and pour on the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix with clean hands. Place the pear halves, cut sides-down, on the baking sheet, making sure there is enough oil to coat their cut surfaces.
  • 2. Roast the brussels sprouts and pear for about 20 minutes. Then turn the brussels sprouts with a metal spatula so that both sides will get caramelized. Check the pear -- it many not be caramelized at this point.
  • 3. After another 10 minutes, turn the brussels sprouts again. Flip the pear. Reduce the oven heat to 375°F.
  • 4. Add the pistachios -- you just want to heat them up and toast them slightly.
  • 5. After 5 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Squeeze lemon juice directly over all the ingredients. Use your spatula to chop up the pear halves. Toss everything thoroughly, check the seasoning, and serve on a platter or in a bowl.

I used dried cranberries instead of pistachios and it was still delicious! The cranberries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the pears. This is a great recipe for a potluck or holiday dinner.

I added a bit of crumbled bacon to this dish and it was amazing! The smokiness of the bacon really complemented the other flavors. This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal.

I was short on time so I roasted the brussels sprouts and pears separately. It still turned out great! The brussels sprouts were crispy and the pears were tender and sweet. I'll definitely be making this again.

Roasted Brussel sprouts with pear and pistachio - a delightful combination. The sweetness of the pear pairs perfectly with the slightly bitter sprouts, and the pistachios add a nice crunch. Will definitely make this again!
