Recipe type: Snack/Side Dish
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 20 Brussels sprouts (yields approximately 4 cups shaved)
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 pinch coarse salt
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon adobe or chipotle powder (whichever one you can find!)
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup, plus more for dipping
  • Sea salt
Instructions
  1. Cut the stems off each Brussels sprout. Then, working in small batches, place sprouts in feed tube of a food processor or Kitchen Aid mixer fitted with a thin slicing disk; slice.
  2. Mix the sugar and spices in a small bowl (brown sugar through cayenne pepper).
  3. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over high heat, swirling pan to coat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sprouts to the pan. Cook over high heat for 5 minutes or until they just begin to burn. Do not stir during this time, allowing them to get really brown and caramelized.
  4. Add a generous pinch of coarse salt. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the sprouts from burning too much. If they begin to get overly blackened, turn the heat down a bit.
  5. Add half the spice mixture to the skillet and cook for an additional minute.
  6. Heat the oven broiler on high. Transfer the sprouts to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the sprouts with half the remaining spice mixture (don't use all of it) and drizzle with 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
  7. Broil for 2 minutes. Take the baking sheet out of the oven, stir the sprouts, and broil for another 2 minutes. Keep an eye on sprouts to ensure they don't burn too much.
  8. Remove the sprouts from the oven. Sprinkle with the last bit of the spice mixture and the sea salt. Toss and serve immediately with a side of maple syrup for dipping.
