8. - Salt and pepper, to taste
9. - Optional: minced garlic or chopped walnuts for added flavor

13. - Chef's knife
14. - Large skillet or roasting pan

18. ### Step-by-Step Guide:
20. 1. **Preheat the Oven and Render Duck Fat (Optional)**
21. - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
22. - If using whole duck fat, render it by placing the fat in a small pan and heating over low heat until the solid fat melts completely.
23. - Strain the rendered duck fat through a fine mesh sieve into another container. This ensures there are no impurities.
25. 2. **Prepare Brussels Sprouts**
26. - Rinse the brussels sprouts under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
27. - Cut off the ends of each sprout and remove any tough outer leaves.
28. - Trim the bottom of each sprout, leaving a small stem intact for easier handling.
29. - Halve the brussels sprouts lengthwise, ensuring they are evenly cut.
31. 3. **Season the Sprouts**
32. - Place the halved brussels sprouts in a large bowl.
33. - Drizzle with duck fat (or oil) and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
34. - Toss until the sprouts are well coated.
36. 4. **Cook on the Stovetop**
37. - Heat the skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat.
38. - Once hot, add the seasoned brussels sprouts in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes per side to get a nice caramelized crust.
40. 5. **Roast in the Oven**
41. - Transfer the seared brussels sprouts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for easy cleanup).
42. - Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly browned.
43. - If using minced garlic, sprinkle it over the sprouts during the last few minutes of roasting.
45. 6. **Optional Garnish**
46. - For extra flavor, toss with chopped walnuts or a drizzle of balsamic glaze just before serving.
48. 7. **Serve Immediately**
49. - Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
50. - Serve hot as a side dish alongside your main course.
52. #### Tips for Best Results:
53. - Ensure brussels sprouts are dry before seasoning to avoid steaming instead of roasting.
54. - Use high-quality duck fat or olive oil to enhance flavor.
55. - Adjust cooking time based on the size and maturity of your brussels sprouts.
57. By following these steps, you can create a delicious and visually appealing duck fat roasted brussels sprouts dish that is perfect for any dinner party or special occasion. Enjoy crafting this savory side!
