Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic

If you think you do not like Brussels sprouts, you have not had them roasted at high heat until the edges get crispy and caramelized. Finished with a balsamic glaze that adds sweetness and tang, these are the Brussels sprouts that change minds. Every single time.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp 4 star balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Duck River honey
  • ½ tsp garlic granules
  • ½ tsp Redmond Real Salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic granules, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread cut-side down on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes until deeply golden and crispy.
  4. While they roast, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens into a glaze.
  5. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the roasted sprouts and toss gently.

Notes

  • Place the sprouts cut-side down for maximum caramelization and crispiness.
  • Add chopped pecan halves or walnuts in the last 5 minutes of roasting for a nutty crunch.
  • The balsamic glaze also works on roasted carrots, sweet potatoes, and beets.
