Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, until charred and tender. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepot over high heat, combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and coriander seeds. Bring to a boil. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat and strain the liquid over the shallots in a heatproof bowl. Let sit until ready to serve — the longer they sit, the more flavorful they become.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon zest and juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
- Spread the yogurt mixture onto a serving platter. Top with the charred Brussels sprouts and pickled shallots. Serve immediately.
