Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 stalks green onion (optional, garnish)
- 2 tbsp queso fresco (optional, garnish)
Buffalo sauce
- 2/3 cup hot sauce
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cayenne
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Clean the Brussels sprouts then thoroughly dry them. Prepare the Brussels sprouts by chopping off the nubby end of the Brussels sprouts and quartering them. Sprinkle the Brussels sprouts with salt. If the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts are thick and rough you can remove them. Otherwise you should keep any leaves that fall off the Brussels sprouts and cook them with the Brussels sprouts.
- Warm the vegetable oil in a large flat pan then saute the Brussels for 25 minutes on medium to medium high heat. Stir the Brussels sprouts occasionally. You should space the Brussels sprouts out. This will help the Brussles sprouts get crispy and prevent them from steaming each other. You might need to use 2 pans to do this.
- Add the butter, vinegar, and hot sauce to a medium sized bowl then microwave the bowl until the butter melts. It should take around 1 minute to melt the butter. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Coat the Brussels sprouts in buffalo sauce then lay them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the Brussels sprouts for 10 minutes at 425 degrees.You should space out the Brussels sprouts. This might mean you need to use 2 baking sheets.
