Roasting brussels sprouts at a high temperature with salt and high heat oil makes them both tender and crispy. Adding shallots to the mix adds a great accent flavor and you're rewarded with crispy shallots as well.
I've made brussels sprouts in a skillet in the past, but when you have a crowd or want a substantial batch, it's much easier to spread them across baking sheets and let them crisp under high heat.
Once they're crisped and ready to grab out of the oven, keep them warm until you serve them. Right before serving add some lemon juice and a few drizzles of honey, or just go with them as is.
Crispy Brussels Sprouts
Once they're crisped and ready to grab out of the oven, keep them warm until you serve them. Right before serving, optionally, press about a half a lemon (2 tablespoons) and a few drizzles of honey or balsamic vinegar, or both, over the sprouts. Another option is to top them with grated Parmesan cheese.You can replace the shallots with ½ cup thinly sliced red onion.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil or other high heat oil
- 2 large shallots peeled and sliced (about 1 cup)
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F.

Is probably obvious but should the shallots be included in step 3?
