Ingredients
Scale
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer.
Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and starting to brown.
While the sprouts roast, combine the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar (if using) in a small saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar has reduced and thickened slightly into a light glaze. Remove from heat.
Remove the roasted sprouts from the oven. Place them in a large bowl.
Pour the warm balsamic glaze over the sprouts and toss gently until they are evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy sprouts!
Notes
For extra crispiness, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the glaze mixture before heating.
If you prefer a less sweet glaze, skip the brown sugar entirely.
If you do not have brown sugar, you can use honey or maple syrup instead.
