Charred Brussels Sprouts with Sweet-Cranberry Relish

Ingredients

Main Components:
- 4 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Sweet-Cranberry Relish:
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/4 cup water

Instructions

1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut side down, to maximize charring.

2. Oven-Roasting the Brussels Sprouts:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 25 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender and have a nice charred appearance on the edges. Turn them halfway through cooking for even charring.

3. Prepare the Sweet-Cranberry Relish:
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, combine cranberries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, honey, orange zest, and water in a small saucepan.
- Heat over medium heat until the mixture starts to simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the relish has thickened.

4. Combine and Serve:
- Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, transfer them to a serving platter.
- Spoon the sweet-cranberry relish over the top of the charred Brussels sprouts.
- Serve immediately as a delicious, sweet-savory snack.
