Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Chili and Lime

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Chili and Lime

Roasted Brussels sprouts with chili and lime get their crisp, charred edges from a hot oven and a cut-side-down start. Siracusana Zaituna's peppery, citrus-forward profile is already tuned to the glaze, which is what makes this version go first at the table.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 3 tablespoons Siracusana Zaituna
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with Siracusana Zaituna, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the sprouts cut-side down on a sheet pan in a single layer, this is what produces the deep, caramelized char.
  4. Roast 20 minutes without stirring, until the cut sides are deeply browned and the leaves are crisp at the edges.
  5. While the sprouts roast, whisk the honey and lime juice together in a small bowl.
  6. As soon as the sprouts come out of the oven, toss them immediately with the honey-lime glaze while they're still hot, so the glaze clings and slightly caramelizes.
  7. Serve right away.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a good char on the sprouts?

Cutting them cut-side down against the pan is what gets you the deep char.

Why are my roasted vegetables steaming instead of browning?

The pan is probably too crowded. Give the sprouts room, or they'll steam instead of roast.

What should I serve this with?

It pairs naturally with the Grilled Chicken Thighs with Chili and Lime.
