Roasted brussels sprouts are all the rage these days. You may be wondering why. Have you ever tasted them? They are absolutely delicious!
New Flavors
I make them several different ways, but have recently discovered a new flavor combination. Roasting them with peperoncini peppers and prosciutto. This happened quite by accident, as my recipes typically do.
You see, I was preparing the brussels sprouts and decided to add the prosciutto to give it a little bit of a salty and crunch bite. However, as I was prepping them, I was also snacking on peperoncini peppers. It’s a guilty pleasure of mine, truth be told.
A Delicious Accident
At any rate, adding the peperoncini peppers to the mixture while roasting turned out to be genius! Eating the rest of the meal was good, but the brussels sprouts were so yummy!
If you want to make them, they are super easy. Since there are only two of us at home, my photos tend to show portions for two. And, my measuring skills with this one is very loose.
Let’s Get These Veggies Roasted
Here is what you will need to make these delicious brussels sprouts. Obviously, you will need brussels sprouts. Additionally, peperoncini peppers, my favorite is the Mezzetta Brand. And, of course, some prosciutto.
Remove the outer layers of the brussels sprouts and rinse them under cool water. Then, slice off the very end of the sprout and quarter them lengthwise. Toss them into the pan.
Next, take the prosciutto and cut it into small pieces. Add the prosciutto and the peperoncini’s to the pan. Drizzle them with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Go light on the salt, the prosciutto has a saltiness to it.
Fall in Love with Brussels Sprouts
Stir the mixture to evenly distribute the salt, pepper and oil. Bake it at 450 degrees for about 10 minutes. This is where it gets a little tricky, the longer you bake them the more they cook. So, if crunchy brussels sprouts are your thing, check them at about 8 minutes.
