Caramelized Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts
These Brussels sprouts are roasted to perfection, caramelized with a rich balsamic glaze, and topped with crispy bacon for an extra layer of flavor. Trust me, even those who claim they don’t like Brussels sprouts will be coming back for seconds!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with the chopped bacon. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper, tossing everything to make sure the sprouts are well coated.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and crispy.
- While the sprouts are roasting, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are out of the oven, drizzle the balsamic glaze over them, and give them a good toss to coat.
- Transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a vibrant touch. Serve warm and enjoy!
