Recipe by Beth Bacon

 
Brussels Sprouts are a great option for your vegetable intake that provide a large amount of nutrients and fiber. They don’t require much to spice up and they complement a large variety of meals. They also fit into an overall healthy diet on the regular!
 

 

Ingredients – Brussels:

• 1 T olive oil
• 1 lb brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 2 large shallots, peeled and cut into ½” thick wedges
• kosher salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 T balsamic glaze

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Heat an oven-safe nonstick or cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil, Brussels sprouts, and shallots in one layer and let cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes until beginning to caramelize.
3. Turn occasionally for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown on all sides.
4. Transfer your pan to the oven and roast for 8-10 minutes, until softened a bit but still slightly al dente. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, toss and serve.

Ingredients – Balsamic Glaze:

• 2 cups high-quality balsamic vinegar

Directions:

1. Heat balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar thickens and is reduced to about ½ cup (this will take approximately 20 minutes). It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool completely before serving (~ 15 mins)
