Crispy Asian Brussels Sprouts Salad Recipes

CRISPY ASIAN BRUSSEL SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
• Rinse sprouts in cool water and then chop off the tough ends. Chop sprouts in half or in quarters for very large sprouts. Dry thoroughly with a towel.
• Toss with the olive oil and season gently with salt and pepper. Remember that the sauce has soy sauce, which can be salty, so you don't want to over-salt the Brussel sprouts.
• Place in a single layer on the pan, leaving some space between the Brussel sprouts. They shouldn't be overlapping. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the sprouts are browned and crispy.
• Meanwhile, add the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sambal olek, and garlic powder to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens. This happens quickly since it is a small amount of liquid.
• Toss the hot Brussels sprouts with the sauce and serve.

CRISPY ASIAN BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and set a rack on the very top.
• Prepare the brussels by cutting off the base of each sprout, slicing them in half from top to bottom and remove the excess or loose exterior leaves.
• Soak the cut brussels for a minute in water to clean them.
• Drain and spread Brussels out on a paper towel to dry while the oven is preheating.
• Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with foil (makes cleaning it easier later on) and spread the brussels out on the pan.
• Generously drizzle the brussels with the oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Stir with your hands to ensure brussels are all well-oiled and salted.
• Place in the oven on the top rack for about 45-60 minutes. After 20 and 40 minutes, stir the brussels to ensure all sides get crispy and charred.
• During the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, reduce remaining ingredients (soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, sriracha, lemon juice and black pepper) in a sauté pan over medium-high heat until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove brussels from the oven once all brussels are crispy and slightly charred.
• Place them in a bowl and toss with some of the reduced sauce. Do this a little at a time as you don't want the brussels to be soaked in sauce so they retain their crispy texture. You may have a little leftover sauce. Eat & enjoy!

SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, orange juice and shallots. Let stand 5 minutes so the acidity in the juice can begin to break down the shallots. Whisk in the Dijon and honey until well combined. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Season aggressively with salt and add pepper.
• For the salad: Add the sprouts, apricots, hazelnuts and pecorino to the vinaigrette and toss to coat. The salad can be dressed 15 to 20 minutes in advance if you like more tender Brussels sprouts.

CRISPY SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups of the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then place on a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon to remove any excess oil. Wipe out the skillet.
• Heat the remaining 1/4 olive oil over medium-low heat in the skillet. Add the pistachios and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pistachios are toasted and golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and discard the rosemary sprigs. Transfer the pistachios with a slotted spoon to a cutting board to cool, season with salt and pepper, then chop finely. Pour the oil from the skillet into a medium heatproof bowl and let cool.
• Add the lemon juice and zest to the medium bowl and whisk to combine. Season the dressing with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Combine the cooked Brussels sprouts with the raw Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Add the pistachios, cranberries and cheese; season with salt and pepper. Add the dressing and toss to combine. Top with sumac and enjoy.

CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the larger Brussels sprouts into quarters; halve the smaller ones.
• Place the Brussels sprouts in a large baking dish or on a baking sheet. Add the garlic, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and pour over the olive oil. Toss to coat. Transfer to the oven and roast for 35 minutes. Crank up the oven to 450 degrees F and roast until tender and the outer leaves are browned and crispy, another 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately.

ROASTED AND RAW BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD

Steps:

• Trim the sprouts, cutting a good 1/4-inch off the bottom. Pull off the large leaves (you should have about 2 cups of them); set aside. Shred the remaining sprouts thinly, using a food processor fitted with the slicing blade, or use a knife to halve them through the core, then thinly slice them. You should have 5 to 6 cups.
• Toss the shredded sprouts with the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and massage with your hands to tenderize them. Set aside.
• Finely mince half the shallot and mix with the sherry vinegar, mustard, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. While stirring, slowly pour in 4 tablespoons oil, then drizzle the dressing onto the sprouts, mixing thoroughly. Toss in the cheese and place in a serving bowl. (Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours, if not serving right away.)
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Thinly slice the other half of the shallot, and on a small baking sheet, combine the shallot with the reserved sprout leaves, almonds, remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss to coat, then roast, tossing once or twice until the sprouts begin to crisp and brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Place the hot ingredients on top of the salad (do not toss) and serve immediately, with more cracked pepper on top.
