Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 120 grams Crème fraîche
- 1 medium Green apple
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, cutting off the stems and removing any damaged outer leaves. Halve them lengthwise.
Place the Brussels sprouts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the Brussels sprouts in the oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the Brussels sprouts roast, prepare the apple crème fraîche. Grate the green apple (leave the skin on for extra flavor) and place it in a bowl.
Combine the grated apple with crème fraîche, lemon juice, honey, and thyme leaves. Mix well and adjust seasoning, adding a pinch of salt if needed.
Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, transfer them to a serving plate and drizzle the apple crème fraîche over the top or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with a few extra thyme leaves if desired and serve immediately.
