HONEY-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH HARISSA AND LEMON RELISH

Honey-Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Harissa and Lemon Relish image

Roasting brussels sprouts may be the best and most delicious way to prepare them. Exposed to high heat, they caramelize and become very crispy (even more so when tossed in a sticky and spicy honey-harissa mixture before roasting). Here, they're finished with a slightly bitter and wonderfully tart lemon relish to bring them back from the brink of too much sweetness.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons harissa
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, ends trimmed, halved lengthwise
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 lemon, rind included, seeds removed, finely chopped

Steps:

Heat oven to 450 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine honey, harissa and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix in with brussels sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and roast, tossing occasionally until sprouts are tender and lightly charred around the edges, about 13 to 18 minutes.
