Crispy Brussels Sprout and Gouda Bites with Green Apple Dill Dip

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 220 °C / 425 °F and lightly grease a baking tray or line it with parchment brushed with a little olive oil.

2. 2

   Place the finely chopped Brussels sprouts in a large bowl and mix them with the shredded Gouda, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, red onion, garlic, half of the fresh dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and olive oil.

3. 3

   Mix very well until you have a moist, compact mixture. Let it rest for 5 minutes so the breadcrumbs absorb some of the moisture from the Brussels sprouts and egg.

4. 4

   With lightly damp hands, shape 12 compact bites or small patties and place them on the prepared tray.

5. 5

   Bake for 16 to 18 minutes at 220 °C / 425 °F, turning once halfway through, until the bites are golden around the edges and crisp on the outside.

6. 6

   While they bake, make the dip by mixing the plain Greek yogurt, green apple, lemon juice, honey, the remaining fresh dill, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl.

7. 7

   Taste the dip and adjust the salt slightly if needed. Chill it until serving so the green apple and dill can flavor the yogurt.

8. 8

   Serve the Brussels sprout and Gouda bites hot and fresh with the cold green apple dill dip on the side.
