Today’s Recipe: Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Citrus Glaze

Greetings, foodies! Today, I am excited to share one of my favorite side dishes that always brings a burst of fresh flavors to the table. This recipe for Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Citrus Glaze is perfect for any occasion, from a casual weeknight dinner to a festive holiday feast. The combination of hearty Brussels sprouts and zesty citrus will leave your taste buds dancing with delight.

To create this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 500g Brussels sprouts (trimmed)
  • 100ml orange juice
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 30ml honey
  • 45ml olive oil
  • To taste

Ensure you have the following kitchen tools ready:

  • baking sheet
  • chef’s knife
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk

Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, lemon zest, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the citrus glaze. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.

Next, halve the Brussels sprouts and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle the citrus glaze over the Brussels sprouts, making sure they are evenly coated. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized.

Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle any remaining citrus glaze from the baking sheet over the sprouts for an extra burst of flavor. Serve warm and enjoy the vibrant mix of savory and sweet notes in each bite.

This dish weighs approximately 650 grams once cooked and serves 4 people. Each serving has around 150 calories, making it a healthy and delicious addition to any meal.

An unusual tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some crushed pistachios over the roasted Brussels sprouts before serving. The added crunch and nutty flavor will take this dish to the next level and impress your guests with an unexpected twist.

I hope you give this recipe a try and customize it to suit your taste preferences. Feel free to experiment with different citrus fruits or add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for a cheesy kick. Let your creativity shine in the kitchen, and enjoy the delicious journey of cooking!
