fried brussels sprouts with orange balsamic vinaigrette and dried figs______________________________Crispy, salty, and dressed with an additive glaze and pops of dried fig to level up this simple appetizer to an unforgettable tabletop delight.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 pound brussels sprouts, halved
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 3 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup dried figs, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
- flaky salt and pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking orange juice, white balsamic, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and swirl to coat the bottom. Add Brussels sprouts, cut side down, and cook for about 6-8 minutes. You may need to do this in batches if the sprouts overlap. Check them after 5 minutes to ensure they don't burn. Once the sprouts turn a nice crispy brown hue, flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Pour vinagrette overtop and allow to caramelize over the sprouts, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a platter, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle dried figs evenly overtop. Serve warm.
