As the leaves turn golden and the air carries a whisper of the coming chill, nothing brings warmth to your table quite like our Warm Brussels Sprouts Salad. This recipe embodies the essence of autumn with its rustic charm and comforting flavors, perfectly suited for a cozy family dinner or a festive seasonal gathering. The nutty savor of toasted almonds, the sweet tang of dried cherries, and the rich complexity of a balsamic glaze transform simple Brussels sprouts into a culinary delight that resonates with love and creativity.

Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
• 1/3 cup dried cherries
• 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Spread the halved Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
3. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and golden brown on the edges.
4. While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
5. Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the toasted almonds and dried cherries, then drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
6. Toss everything together gently to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
7. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of fall.

Helpful Tips

For added convenience, you can prepare and trim the Brussels sprouts in advance. Simply store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. If balsamic glaze is not available, you can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar with a bit of honey until it thickens.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or enjoy it cold for a quick and nourishing meal.

Pairings

This salad pairs beautifully with roasted meats such as chicken or pork. For a vegetarian option, consider serving it alongside a hearty quinoa or wild rice pilaf. A crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, complements the dish’s flavors perfectly.
