Description

Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts are tender on the inside, caramelized on the outside, and finished with a tangy-sweet balsamic glaze. This easy side dish pairs perfectly with chicken, beef, or holiday meals, offering a delicious balance of savory and sweet flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Balsamic Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated to enhance flavor and roasting quality.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing them cut-side down to maximize caramelization and browning during roasting.
  4. Roast Brussels Sprouts: Roast the sprouts in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until they become tender inside and caramelized on the outside, turning golden brown for optimal texture.
  5. Make Balsamic Glaze: While the Brussels sprouts roast, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey or maple syrup, and minced garlic (if using) in a small bowl to create a tangy-sweet glaze.
  6. Glaze Brussels Sprouts: Remove the roasted Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over them, coating thoroughly for a flavorful finish.
  7. Final Roast: Return the glazed Brussels sprouts to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze and intensify the flavors.
  8. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts warm as a delicious side dish to complement your main meal.

Notes

  • Roast cut-side down for best browning and caramelization.
  • Adjust sweetness of the glaze by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.
  • Finish with grated Parmesan cheese or toasted nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra texture and flavor if desired.
