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.
