Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pear and Shallots

Like other cruciferous vegetables, brussels sprouts contain glucosinolates, chemical compounds that have been shown to help prevent cancer. Partnering the little cabbages with pear gives this dish even more fiber, as well as a balance of sweet and savory flavors.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 ripe, firm Bartlett pear, preferably red
1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
3 shallots, quartered
4 sprigs thyme
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
