Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Parmesan and Caesar Dressing
Brussels sprouts and Caesar dressing make the perfect duet in this simple and original dish. First, mix the sprouts with oil and Parmesan, then roast them in the oven until the cheese is crispy. Spread the dressing on the bottom of a plate and lay the sprouts on top with croutons and capers.
Ingredients
- 3 cups (360 g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1/2 cup (35 g) fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 4 oz (115 g) pancetta, diced
- 1 cup (100 g) stale bread, diced
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) homemade or store-bought Caesar Dressing
- 2 tbsp capers
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, Parmesan, 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the oil and the garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the mixture out in the baking sheet. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the sprouts are tender and the cheese is crispy and golden, stirring two or three times during cooking.
- Meanwhile, in a small skillet over high heat, brown the pancetta in the remaining oil. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, toast the bread in the pancetta cooking fat until golden. Add more oil as needed. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the Caesar dressing out in a serving dish. Add the Brussels sprouts. Top with the pancetta, croutons and capers.
