Crispy Brussels Sprout Leaves
Ingredients

- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds or pinenuts optional
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Separate leaves of brussels sprouts (keep trimming ends so you can get more leaves off), and place on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil, add zest and almonds, and season with salt and pepper. Toss until thoroughly coated.
- Bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, until leaf edges just start to brown.
- To serve, sprinkle with cheese and some lemon juice if desired.
Is it possible to make it with frozen brussel sprouts?
I’ve never bought frozen Brussels sprouts before so I really can’t say. Although it should work as long as you can still defrost them and separate all the leaves. The only think I can think of would be that before tossing/drizzling with oil, you may want to pat dry the leaves if they are damp. Please let me know how they turn out if you try them!
