Ingredients
- Fresh Brussels Sprouts, trimmed and halved
- Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
- Garlic
- Anchovy paste
- Lemon juice
- Dijon mustard
- Worcestershire sauce (or a non-alcoholic alternative)
- Olive oil
- Black pepper
- Homemade or store-bought Croutons
- Salt
- Garlic powder
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any wilted leaves. Cut them in half and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss until they are evenly coated. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare your croutons. Cut your bread into cubes, toss with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder, and spread on a separate baking sheet. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
- In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and freshly cracked black pepper. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
- In a large bowl, combine the roasted Brussels sprouts, croutons, and grated Parmesan. Drizzle your Caesar dressing over the top and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well coated.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with extra Parmesan and a sprinkle of black pepper. Enjoy your fresh and crunchy Brussels Sprouts Caesar Salad!
