Make these super crispy, delicious Brussel sprouts with red wine vinaigrette and lemon aioli for a satisfying, yet healthy side dish! The Ace's original recipe for their popular deep fried Brussel sprouts has been modified for home kitchens so instead of deep drying, you can achieve an equally crispy sprout by roasting in the oven.

Method
Brussels Sprouts 6 Steps
-
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Step 2
Rinse the Brussel sprouts, peel off any loose or undesirable leaves, cut the stem ends off each sprout (where you can tell they were cut from the stalk) and cut the sprouts in half from stem end to top.
-
Step 3
Add the sprouts to a large bowl, pour in a liberal amount of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss the sprouts until evenly coated.
-
Step 4
Lay sprouts out on a baking sheet (parchment paper will help with cleanup afterward). Space them out evenly. Put the baking sheet on the centre rack of your oven.
-
Step 5
Roast for about 40 minutes or until they begin to caramelize, flipping them (as best you can) about halfway through. Meanwhile, make the dipping sauces to accompany your sprouts.
-
Step 6
Serve alone or with dipping sauces.
Lemon Aioli 3 Steps
-
Step 1
In a food processor, add garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard and egg yolk.
-
Step 2
While blending ingredients, add oil very slowly so that it emulsifies into an aioli.
-
Step 3
When desired consistency is reached, taste and adjust seasoning. If too thick add a teaspoon of water until desired consistency.
Red Wine Vinaigrette 3 Steps
-
Step 1
In a food processor, add shallot, oregano, Dijon, honey and vinegar.
-
Step 2
While blending ingredients, add oil slowly so that it emulsifies.
