Ingredients

  • 10 oz Brussels sprouts, tough stem removed and halved
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons pistachios, toasted and coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 Fuji Apple, unpeeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon crème fraîche, or more to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450˚F. Toss the Brussels sprouts with enough olive oil to coat, a generous pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile, in a small sauté pan, gently simmer the balsamic vinegar with the honey until the mixture has reduced and is slightly thickened, 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
  2. After 15 minutes, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven, stir and rearrange with a spoon and test one with a paring knife. If the Brussels sprouts are not sufficiently charred or tender, return to the oven for five minutes. If they appear to be charring too much, reduce the oven temperature to 400˚F and continue roasting until they are knife-tender.
  3. When the Brussels sprouts are finished cooking, remove from the oven, transfer to a bowl, and add the pistachios and apple slices. Pour the reduced balsamic mixture into the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Transfer mixture to serving platter and top with a dollop of crème fraîche. Serve immediately, seasoning with more salt if necessary and more crème fraîche if desired.
