Brown Sugar Brussels Sprouts Recipes

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BROWNED BUTTER

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add Brussels sprouts; cook until slightly tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and run sprouts under cold water to stop the cooking process. Trim ends off each Brussels sprout and slice sprouts in half.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; arrange Brussels sprouts, cut sides down, in the hot oil. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook Brussels sprouts, keeping them in the same place, until cut sides are browned, 7 to 9 minutes.
• Mix red onion and garlic into Brussels sprouts; cook and stir mixture until Brussels sprouts are cooked through but still firm, 10 to 13 more minutes.
• Place butter in a cold saucepan; place saucepan over medium heat. Cook butter until it begins to bubble and foam, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; cook, constantly stirring, until butter begins to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and pour browned butter over Brussels sprouts; toss to coat.

BROWN-SUGAR-AND-BACON-GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, cut a slit straight through center of each sprout and down through stem end (but do not cut in half). Cook bacon in a large pan over medium-high heat until browned and most of fat is rendered, about 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels; discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan.
• Return pan to medium-high heat. Add oil, then garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add sprouts, butter, brown sugar, stock, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring to evenly coat sprouts. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer, stirring a few times, until sprouts are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 18 to 20 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until liquid is reduced to a glaze that evenly coats sprouts, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in bacon, and serve.

Steps:
