RECIPE: Make 19 Degrees North’s Roasted Brussels Sprouts

My husband and I like to drive to Dahlonega to shop and dine. We had a most delightful lunch at 19 Degrees North Seafood & Grill overlooking the historic courthouse square. We ordered fresh trout topped with fresh mango relish (yum!) which came with the tastiest Brussels sprouts. Were they oven roasted? I wonder if they’d explain how they achieve such a delicious vegetable side dish. Thank you so much! — Chris Drake, Brookhaven
The roasted Brussels sprouts are one of almost a dozen side dishes available on both the lunch and dinner menus at 19 Degrees North. The recipe is a collaboration between general manager Geoffrey Stephens and executive chef Jason Davenport. It’s been on the menu since the restaurant opened in September 2018.
“The sweetness of the maple-mustard glaze balances the bitterness of the charred sprouts,” says Stephens. He also offers this pointer for preparing it: “Be sure to only keep the glazed sprouts on the heat for a minute. Any longer and the glaze will separate and you will end up with oily sprouts.”
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and sprouts cut in half
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup Maple-Mustard Glaze (see recipe)
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large bowl, toss sprouts with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet and roast 6 to 7 minutes or until tender and lightly charred. Remove from oven and transfer sprouts to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Maple-Mustard Glaze, toss together, cook 1 minute, then remove from heat quickly and transfer to serving dish.
