Ingredients

• 500 grams brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 400 grams smoked sausage (such as kielbasa)
• 100 grams dried tart cherries
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 50 grams slivered almonds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Trim the brussels sprouts by removing any tough outer leaves, then slice them in half. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper, then toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the brussels sprouts are roasting, slice the smoked sausage into 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch) thick rounds. Set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and fresh thyme leaves to create a light glaze.

Step 7

After the initial 15 minutes of roasting, remove the brussels sprouts from the oven. Add the sliced sausage and dried tart cherries to the baking sheet, then drizzle the glaze evenly over all the ingredients. Toss gently to combine.

Step 8

Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized, and the sausage is heated through.

Step 9

In the final 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the slivered almonds over the mixture to toast lightly.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir gently to combine the flavors. Serve hot as a complete supper or with warm crusty bread on the side.
