March 25, 2018Do Brussels sprouts make you go “Yuck!”? Were they your biggest enemy as a child? You’re not alone. Undeservedly, this leafy green vegetable is on a lot of people’s bad side. We propose to change this popular misconception and encourage you to give our crispy, curried Brussels sprouts a (second) chance. Disclaimer: You don’t have to eat up, if you don’t like it.
WHAT YOU NEED (SERVES 6 AS A SIDE DISH):
750 g Brussels sprouts
3 tbsp. olive oil
¾-1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp. yellow curry powder
A dash of maple syrup
HOW TO PREPARE:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.
- Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow leaves. Cut the bigger sprouts in halves.
- Place the vegetable in a bowl and mix with olive oil, salt, pepper, curry powder and maple syrup.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Make sure to shake the pan about every 7 minutes to ensure even cooking. The sprouts should be brown and crispy once they are done. Add more seasoning if necessary and serve immediately.
