Charred Brussels Sprouts with Garlic Chips
Crispy fried garlic chips add a savory crunch to these roasted Brussels sprouts. Leftover oil from frying the chips can be used for salad dressings or drizzled on pasta. The sprouts were best served on a platter, not in a bowl, which caused those on the bottom to soften. After trimming the sprouts, you should be left with about 1½ pounds.

Tip
Don't undercook the almond–lemon grass mixture. Browning it well helps it develop a rich, toasty flavor and tenderizes the lemon grass. Using a heavy-bottomed skillet helped ensure even browning without scorching.

There are some recipes where the ingredients clearly make sense… butter, chives, and milk in mashed potatoes, for example. This one contained a breadth of less familiar ingredients, and three of which could dangerously approach bitterness: the sprouts themselves, garlic, and almonds. I had my doubts, but I wanted to do something different with my Brussels sprouts this time. Sure enough, the end results is a magical mix where all the disparate ingredients harmonize JUST perfectly, I could see where, if you didn’t follow the recipe to the letter, the lemon might outshine things, or some other element took over, but this worked out magnificently for me. It might be the recipe to try for people who claim they don’t like Brussels sprouts, and for those who don’t like the charred taste of a well-roasted sprout. No bitterness here at all, even with a nicely browned vegetable dish.

Sounds delicious. . . but do the dried cranberries come at the end?
Hi, I am interested in making the recipe for Thanksgiving. The article mentions dried cranberries but the recipe does not.
Also, how far ahead can this be made? Can it be done in a few stages?
