    I see a common theme of people who don't have convection ovens. If you don't have a fan in your oven that blows air around it's not a convection oven and you may have to turn up the heat by 20-25 degrees to achieve the same result. Alternatively just half and blanch the sprouts and then sear them in a pan.

    I add a drizzle of balsamic REDUCTION after the sprouts come out of the oven - you don't need much - and then I kind of mix / lightly toss everything in the pan, to ensure all the sprouts get a little bit of the reduction sauce. Takes something that was already delicious, and takes it to the next level!

    Have you tried the Cook's Illustrated recipe for roasted Brussels sprouts? Instead of blanching them, you toss them with a little bit of water in addition to the oil, and then lay them out on the sheet pan as you did, cut side down, but cover the pan with foil before putting it into a 500-degree F oven. The sprouts steam in that small amount of water for 10 minutes, and then you take off the foil and let them roast and caramelize for another 10-12 minutes. One pan and you can basically set it and forget it (for 10 minutes anyway.) It is THE BEST, most foolproof method I've found for roasting sprouts.

      @DoctorSess 2 года назад +4

      I feel like most people who don’t like Brussels sprouts have never had them prepared decently… if you cook them right they are so delicious.
      My go to method is to slow cook thick cut bacon in a cast iron in order to render as much fat as possible, remove bacon and cut into bits for topping later. Then brown the Brussels sprouts in the bacon fat - the key here is to leave them alone until the downside is golden brown then just flip them all once so the other side can brown as well. After they are browned and semi-tender lower the heat all the way and mix in a little balsamic vinegar, maple syrup or honey, and then top with the bacon bits and a soft creamy cheese (preferably goat cheese). They come out so good that they steal the spotlight from the main dish (I usually serve them with my slow cooked bbq pork).

    This same technique also works fantastic with broccoli. I actually love a half and half. Half blanched with no salt, and half blanched with salt water then roasted with olive oil and some finishing salt. They freshness of the barely cooked broccoli with nothing added really complements the roasted, charred, broccoli that is properly seasoned.

    Most people are introduced to Brussels at an early age either at school or part of Sunday lunch, in the UK. I remember that my mother would score an X in the stem and put the sprouts on sometime in late November so that they would be ready in time for Christmas. An individual sprout could hold about a pint of water which was a nuisance for the old people as they had to go pee every time they ate one!

    Brussels Sprouts have easily become my favorite vegetable in the last year or so. Anytime I go to a restaurant I'm very judgmental of how they cook them because some places get it right, others don't. By the looks of these, I would probably easily devour that entire sheet tray! I haven't tried the blanching beforehand, so I'm going to have to try that now - thanks for the tip! As for a finish, I usually add some honey and balsamic and toss, and then sprinkle a little grated parmesan on top. Always a crowd pleaser!

    • @coltonrudd
      @coltonrudd 2 года назад +1

      @@DanielleBlanchardArts I think it depends on how intense you want the flavor. Some prefer a more mild hint of those flavors, while someone like me is more heavy handed with it. For a tray that size, I usually put them all in a bowl, and I would start with 1 tablespoon of each and then toss to coat. I'd sample one and see if you think it needs more or less depending on how much flavor you want. I usually just eyeball it and do roughly equal parts balsamic/honey, and it would probably equate to about 2 tablespoons of each. May take some trial and error to determine exactly what works best for you, but it's too good not to try!

    Number one thing: Don't buy large sprouts or ones that look like tree branches when you slice them open. They should be small, around the size of a quarter. And please DO trim long stems. Let them get to room temperature before baking or frying. Add a little baking soda to the blanching water.

Now the challenge will be to get my wife to try them: during the 8 years I've known her, she has absolutely and steadfastly refused to ever eat sprouts in my presence (maybe she eats them in secret, with someone else).

A lid can help them get some good penetrating heat too & also help prevent them from drying out. I’d say experiment with lower heat & longer temps because tender is definitely more desirable with Brussels imo. They’re pretty easy to make once you get the hang of them.
