Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Pine Nuts

Submitted by Feej3940

"When I saw this recipe on foodtv, I thought I would give brussels sprouts a try. I LOVED it. I get to craving these & will make a batch just for myself. The cooking time may sound too long, but I have never had either the brussels sprouts or pine nuts burn. I do like the suggestion to keep your pine nuts in the freezer - that should help to keep them from burning."

I loved this recipe! so simple and so delicious. I added the pine nuts in the last ten minutes. I will make this again! ps I love brussels sprouts

Yum! I cooked at 400*F. for 45 minutes, adding in the pine nuts the last 10 minutes. Thanks! Made for PAC(Pick a Chef).

I never knew Brussels sprouts could be so good. I too had to reduce the roasting time to about 25 minutes. I was worried about the pine nuts getting a little bit too cooked if they were in there all that time, so I froze them beforehand. This made both the Brussels sprouts and the pine nuts come out just perfectly caramelized for my tastes. Thanks so much for such a delicious recipe!

Great ingredients but I fear the cooking time is way off. If the pine nuts were in the oven for 45 minutes at 425 with the Brussels sprouts, they'd get burnt. I think I halved the cooking time for the sprouts, and I added the pine nuts right at the end, and they were still verging on overdone. (The balsamic vinegar also requires caution, it was getting too done also...) Having said this, the flavours are really nice and I'll make this again, but I'll toast the pine nuts separately and toss them on at the end. Thanks for the recipe. P.S. Maybe it was my oven, who knows; anyways I didn't like the look of only 3 stars for something so tasty so I changed it (though if your oven is like mine, be careful with the pine nuts...)
