  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven at 425 degrees. Place your sheet tray in the oven while you prepare the ingredients.
  • Thinly slice the garlic and shallots.
  • In a pot, heat up the oil and add in the garlic slices. Fry for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Strain and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add the sliced shallots. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Strain and set aside.
  • Reserve the infused oil and allow to cool completely.
  • Wash and trim the brussels sprouts. Drain well.
  • Cut the brussels sprouts in half and place in a bowl.
  • Pour the infused oil into the bowl with brussels sprouts. Add the salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes. Mix together well.
  • Carefully remove the heated sheet tray from the oven. Add the brussels sprouts onto the hot sheet tray cut side down.
  • Place the sheet tray back in the oven and roast for 25-35 minutes.
  • Flip the brussels sprouts cut side up and roast for another 5-10 minutes, or until your desired doneness.
  • Take the sheet tray out and transfer the brussels sprouts to a bowl.
  • Pour the sesame oil on top and toss.
  • Using your hands, crush the garlic and shallot chips and garnish the brussels sprouts. Sprinkle on a little more red pepper flakes for additional spice.
  • Serve with your favorite main course!

Notes

  1. Preheat your sheet tray in the oven so it's nice and hot. This will help develop a nice char that is often missed on most brussels sprouts recipes. The pan should sizzle when you add the brussels sprouts - make sure to place them cut side down.
