Ingredients

  • 1 pound of Brussels sprouts
  • 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Brussels Sprouts

Start by prepping your Brussels sprouts. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut off the tough ends of the sprouts and remove any loose or discolored leaves. If the sprouts are large, cut them in half or quarters so that they cook evenly.

Step 2: Make the Balsamic Glaze

To make the balsamic glaze, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk everything together until well combined.

Step 3: Roast the Brussels Sprouts

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Spread out the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the sprouts, making sure each Brussels sprout is coated well. Use your hands to toss and coat the veggies better. It's better to give a little space between each Brussels sprout. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until they can be easily pierced with a fork.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Take out the baking dish and transfer to a serving plate. You can garnish with more balsamic glaze on top of the Brussels sprouts and serve immediately. These balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts make a perfect side dish for any dinner.

Tips and Tricks

  • For even more flavor, sprinkle some parmesan cheese before serving
