roasted brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze
I grew up hating Brussels sprouts (being a follower) which is insane because I’ve always loved cabbage. Brussels sprouts are part of the cabbage family and are known for their distinctive appearance – small, green, round heads resembling miniature cabbages. They’re also really healthy and contain vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, making them a healthy addition to your meals or even as a salad. My favorite way to prepare and eat them is by roasting them and gazing with Balsamic.
prep time: 5 min | cook time: 20 min
ingredients
1 pound Brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1-2 tablespoons raw organic honey
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half.
In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. Make sure they're evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat.
Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they are tender and slightly crispy, stirring them once halfway through for even cooking.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, honey and minced garlic. Heat over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Once it reaches a syrupy consistency, remove it from the heat.
When the Brussels sprouts are done, transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the roasted Brussels sprouts.
notes:
Don't Overcook: Brussels sprouts can become bitter and mushy if overcooked, so keep an eye on them as they cook.
