Ingredients:
1 lb brussel sprouts, halved
1/4 cup roasted pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup dried currants or cranberries (chopped)
extra virgin olive oil (evoo)
salt & pepper
UMAMI Crave the Fifth Original
Directions:
Set oven to "broil". Remove ends and halve 1 lb brussel sprouts. Peel off some leaves from the sprouts (about 2 cups) and reserve in a bowl. Toss halved sprouts in EVOO, salt & pepper.
Place sprouts on a sheet pan and broil for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350.
Drizzle pumpkin seeds with a little EVOO, salt and pepper. Toss and roast pumpkin seeds for 7 minutes, then remove from oven and cool completely.
Toss roasted sprouts and leaves with all remaining ingredients. Serve with fresh parmesan (optional) and finish with an UMAMI Crave the Fifth drizzle.
Serves 4 as a side dish.
