These Balsamic Brussel Sprouts are so easy to make for a healthy side dish. They’re loaded with sweet nutty flavor and will quickly become a favorite!

I am really not sure when my love of brussel sprouts began. I absolutely know that I never had them when I was growing up. My family mostly ate green peas with onions or green beans.

Balsamic Brussel Sprouts

I honestly do not remember where or when that was when I finally tried brussel sprouts. But I am so glad I finally tried them. I feared them for no reason at all.

Brussel sprouts are SO good for us too since they are loaded with vitamin K-1 and Vitamin C. They are also an antioxidant, like their friends cabbage, cauliflower, kale and broccoli.

For years, my favorite recipe was these Sauteed Brussel Sprouts. But I decided it was time to try roasting fresh brussel sprouts in balsamic vinegar and a olive oil last week. To say the least, I am hooked and have made these twice in one week!

Roasting brussel sprouts gives them a completely different flavor. It’s a nutty, sweeter taste. And honestly the crispier the better.

I love to serve them with this Grilled Chicken or this Honey Dijon Pork Tenderloin. Whatever you serve them with your guests will be thrilled.

How to Make Balsamic Brussel Sprouts

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Wash fresh brussel sprouts and trim the ends off.

Slice them in half (from the end to tip)

Place them in a bowl and add the vinegar, oil and pepper

Toss lightly and place on a baking sheet, cut side down

How Long to Roast Brussel Sprouts

Bake for 20 minutes, tossing once to make sure they are evenly browned. I have even gone a little longer depending on the size of the brussel sprout.

ENJOY!!

You can use frozen brussel sprouts as well. Just thaw them first and remove any excess water. Then increase the baking time to 30-40 minutes.

Sprinkle them with a little parmesan cheese after they come out of the oven for an even bolder flavor.
