Instructions
Creating Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Pears & Pistachios is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place in the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, until they are golden brown and crisp-tender, stirring halfway through.
4. Add the Pears: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, dice the pears. After the 15-20 minutes, add the diced pears to the baking sheet with the Brussels sprouts.
5. Finish Roasting: Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the pears and Brussels sprouts. Optionally, you can add honey for a touch of sweetness. Roast for an additional 5-7 minutes until the pears start to soften.
6. Combine with Pistachios: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the mixture while it’s still warm. Toss lightly to combine.
7. Add Balsamic Vinegar: Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the roasted vegetables. Toss to ensure even distribution and flavor enhancement.
8. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme before serving.
9. Serve Warm: Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts with pears and pistachios to a serving dish. Enjoy fresh from the oven for the best experience!
