Quick to prep, fresh Brussels sprouts are drizzled with balsamic and roasted until tender crisp.
What You’ll Need For These Brussels
Brussels Sprouts: I prefer fresh Brussels sprouts for roasting but frozen sprouts will work too. If using frozen, add 5-10 minutes to the roasting time—they will have a softer texture. Balsamic Vinegar: Balsamic vinegar adds flavor but it also caramelizes nicely creating a delicious glaze. Seasoning: Minced garlic plus salt & pepper are all that’s needed. If you have balsamic glaze in your cupboard, drizzle some after roasting for extra flavor.
Variations
Add shredded Parmesan during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Feta also tastes great with this combo. Try adding some chopped Pancetta or crispy oven bacon. Pancetta roasts up beautifully in the oven, getting crackly and crisp. This mixture works well with other veggies like onions, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, or green beans.
How to Trim Brussels Sprouts
Choose sprouts that are firm and have a pale to dark green color. If they are still attached to their stem, simply break them off.
Use a paring knife to trim off the bottom stem where it was attached, taking care not to remove too much so the Brussels sprouts don’t come apart. Remove any outer leaves that are wilted or brown. Cut larger sprouts in half. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry before roasting.

Leftovers
Leftovers taste great the next day. It’s one of the vegetables we love leftover, cold, & straight out of the refrigerator. Roasted sprouts can be crisped up and heated under the broiler or in the air fryer, then served with dipping sauce for a healthy snack. To freeze, place in an airtight container or bag for up to 12 months. Did you make these Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts? Leave a rating and a comment below. © SpendWithPennies.com.
