Honey and Garlic Smashed Brussels Sprouts
Ingredients
- Brussels sprouts
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons agave syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
- salt and pepper
Preparation
Boil the Brussels sprouts for 12 minutes until softened but not too soggy so they don’t break
Strain the sprouts and cool them down with cold water to ensure their crispness
Transfer the sprouts to a board and smash them with the bottom of a glass or jar
Add them to a baking tray, spray with oil and season with salt and pepper
Bake or air fry for 15-18 minutes at 180 degrees
While they are roasting, create the marinade using agave syrup, lime juice and garlic
After 15 minutes, add the marinade and cook for a further 5-10 minutes until golden
Notes
This dish transforms bland boiled Brussels sprouts into a crispy, flavorful side that is perfect for Christmas dinner
