Notes
Expert Tips
- Place cut sides down for the first oven spell. This will help to develop a nice crisp crust on your roasted caramelized brussel sprouts.
- There’s no need to defrost frozen cranberries before roasting. You can toss them directly on the sheet pan with the marinated brussel sprouts.
- Only zest the bright orange part of the orange skin; the white pith is very bitter.
- To get the most juice from your fruit, firmly roll it on the countertop for 10-15 seconds before slicing it open.
