Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Ground paprika
- 3 Apples (peeled and chopped)
- 100 ml Water
- 1 tbsp Sugar (optional)
- 0.25 tsp Cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves. Slice the sprouts in half lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and ground paprika. Toss until the sprouts are evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and caramelized.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the appelmoes. Place the peeled and chopped apples in a small saucepan and add water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Cook the apples for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and beginning to break down.
Mash the cooked apples with a fork or potato masher to achieve a lumpy texture, or blend them for a smoother consistency.
Stir in the cinnamon and sugar (if using) and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the appelmoes cool slightly.
Serve the roasted Brussels sprouts warm, with a generous spoonful of appelmoes on the side or drizzled on top.
Enjoy this savory-sweet combination as a side dish, or pair it with your favorite main course.
