For today’s edition of my holiday recipes, I am making my simple balsamic glazed Brussels Sprouts. I really love how the two distinct flavors come together in this recipe. You get a sweetness that comes from the balsamic as it reduces in the oven, and then the Brussels Sprouts gives a great earthy and rich flavor to this dish. Growing up I do not think I ever tried Brussels Sprouts, mostly due to the unfortunate ideas that are spread by movies and TV about kids never liked them. Now that I have tried and enjoyed them, I hope to spread the opposite ideas.
I think Brussels Sprouts are one of the most flavorful and versatile vegetables available. And especially around the holiday season, they seemingly begin to pop up everywhere. I use a bit of liquid sweetener in this recipe, due to the fact that I think the Brussels caramelize a little better in the oven and get a rich color once cooked. You can always omit the sweetener, or even use an aged balsamic with a higher sugar content to get the same effect.
If you go ahead and give this recipe a try, let me know what you think and share a picture on my Instagram and Facebook page of how it turned out for you.
Cooking a pan full of Balsamic-Glazed Brussels Sprouts is a great way to introduce your family to the amazing health benefits of Brussels!
