Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 100 grams Chestnuts (roasted and peeled)
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim off the stems. Cut them in half lengthwise.
Place the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the chestnut butter. In a small food processor, blend the roasted and peeled chestnuts with the butter until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Reduce the heat to low and add the prepared chestnut butter to the skillet. Stir gently to melt the butter and combine it with the garlic. Add the lemon juice and mix well.
Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them to a large serving bowl. Pour the warm chestnut butter over the top and toss to coat evenly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
