Balsamic Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature will help caramelize the Brussels sprouts and bring out their natural flavors.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Ensure they are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roasting them flat ensures they cook evenly and develop a nice brown color.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
  5. While the Brussels sprouts roast, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey (if using), then heat over medium until it reduces slightly and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Once the Brussels sprouts are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top. Toss to combine, ensuring every sprout is coated in that flavorful mixture.
  7. Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
