ROASTED GARLIC BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Stir in 1 tablespoon brown sugar, the juice of 1/2 lemon and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Toss with 1 1/4 pounds halved Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CUMIN

Steps:

• Trim off the ends of the sprouts and make a small gash in the bottom of each. Add to a saucepan with water to cover and salt.
• Bring to a boil and simmer to the desired degree of doneness, about 10 minutes (longer if necessary). Drain.
• Heat the butter in a saucepan. Add the onions and cook until wilted. Add the sprouts, cumin, salt and pepper, and cover. Simmer for 5 minutes, shaking the pan on occasion.

SHEET-PAN CUMIN PORK CHOPS AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, cumin seeds, ground cumin, black pepper, red-pepper flakes and garlic until mixture resembles wet sand.
• Smear mixture all over pork and let sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, refrigerate, covered, up to 24 hours.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, toss brussels sprouts and sage leaves with oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Spread out on a quarter-size rimmed baking sheet (or in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish) and place in the oven. Place the pork on a second quarter-size rimmed baking sheet (or use a regular rimmed baking sheet) and place in the oven along with the sprouts.
• Roast pork and sprouts for 15 minutes. Flip the chops over and give the sprouts a stir, and continue roasting until the pork is cooked through (135 degrees for medium-rare) and the sprouts are browned and tender, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let pork rest 5 minutes before slicing off the bone as you would a steak. Serve together, with lemon wedges.
