A sweet and fruity glaze, spiked with a touch of heat from crushed red pepper flakes, transforms this simple roasted Brussels sprouts recipe. Look for quince paste with specialty cheeses at well-stocked supermarkets.

Ingredients

2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
⅓ cup quince paste (membrillo)
⅓ cup water
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint or basil, divided

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Set a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat for 5 minutes.
Toss Brussels sprouts with oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Arrange the Brussels sprouts, cut-side down, on the preheated baking sheet. Roast until browned and tender, stirring once halfway through, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine quince paste, water, sugar, lemon juice and crushed red pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to melt the quince paste. Cook until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in paprika and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl and toss with the quince glaze and 2 tablespoons mint (or basil). Serve topped with lemon zest and the remaining 2 tablespoons mint (or basil).

Tips

To make ahead: Refrigerate sauce (Step 3) for up to 1 week. Reheat before using, adding a few tablespoons of water to thin it if necessary.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
