Long holiday weekend over. Brain fried. Body exhausted.
Let's jump straight to the recipe. Just this once.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Caramelized Onions over Couscous - Serves 2
Printable Recipe
1 pint Brussels sprouts
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, caramelized
2 servings couscous, prepared according to package directions
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Wash and dry the Brussels sprouts. Trim off the ends of the sprouts, remove the outer leaves, and then cut them in half. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sprouts to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, browning the cut side of the sprouts. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender. Meanwhile, caramelize the yellow onion.
Spoon the couscous into two bowls, dividing evenly. Top with the roasted Brussels sprouts and caramelized onions. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, to taste. Serve immediately.
