How To Make Red Lobsters Brussel Sprouts
1. Prepare the brussels. First things first, preheat the oven to 400ºF (200°C). Next, trim the brussel sprouts and remove the hard outer leaves from them. Then them to a bowl and coat them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure you cover every brussels sprout with olive oil. Doing so will ensure they crisp up nicely in the oven.
2. Bake. Next, transfer the prepared brussels sprouts onto a baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes or until some of the leaves get browned or blackened, and the sprouts are soft and fork-tender.
3. Make the butter. While they're baking, you can brown the butter. Place the butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon so it doesn't burn. As soon as the butter starts getting brown and has a nutty smell, remove it from the heat. You don't want to keep it on the heat longer than this, or the butter will burn too much.
4. Serve. After the sprouts are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle them with the browned butter. Give them a little mix, serve warm, and enjoy!
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Let any leftovers you have cool completely, and then transfer to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for about 4 days. To keep for longer, transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to a year.
My favorite way to reheat them is to warm them in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes. If you're reheating frozen leftovers, add about 15 more minutes.
