Ingredients

2 People
  1. 1 kgBrussels sprouts, cleaned and trimmed
  2. 4 Tablespoonsolive oil
  3. 1 tablespoonapple cider vinegar
  4. 1 teaspoonkosher salt
  5. 1 teaspoonred chili pepper flakes
  6. 225 gramshredded mozzarella cheese
  7. 4 Tablespoonsgrated parmesan cheese
  8. 1/2Lemon

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 230° C

  2. 2

    Blanch the Brussels sprouts. Fill a large bowl with ice and water and set nearby, along with a slotted spoon.

  3. 3

    Fill a large pot with water and add enough kosher salt that the water tastes like sea water.

  4. 4

    Bring it to a boil and add the Brussels sprouts. Allow to cook until just fork-tender, approximately 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Using the slotted spoon, carefully transfer the sprouts to the ice water until they’re just cool enough to handle

  6. 6

    Drain into a colander and pat dry with a clean dish towel

  7. 7

    In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and chili pepper flakes. Add the Brussels sprouts and toss gently to combine.

  8. 8

    Spread them out and use a drinking glass “smash” each one so that it fans out. You don’t want to completely flatten them; we’re just looking for some more surface area to hold the cheese.

  9. 9

    Sprinkle the mozzarella over each sprout, followed by a pinch of the parmesan.

  10. 10

    Place in the oven until the cheese is brown and bubbly, approximately 10 minutes

  11. 11

    Pile them into a serving dish with a squeeze of the lemon or portion onto plates and enjoy!
