Ingredients
-
1 ½ pounds medium to large Brussels sprouts, trimmed (16-18)
-
2 ounces cubed pancetta
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
-
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add Brussels sprouts; reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer and cook until just tender when pierced with a skewer, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the Brussels sprouts and plunge them into the ice bath. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then transfer to a clean kitchen towel and pat dry.

Meanwhile, cook pancetta in a small skillet over medium heat until fat is rendered and the pancetta is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving drippings in the pan.

Spread the Brussels sprouts on a large rimmed baking sheet. Flatten them with the bottom of a mason jar or sturdy glass. Drizzle each with the oil mixture. Roast for 10 minutes. Top with goat cheese, return to the oven and bake until the cheese has browned in spots, 3 to 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with the pancetta.

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.)
