These 25-Minute Roasted Brussels Sprouts Are Dressed to Impress
Brussels sprouts. You either love them or you hate them. And if you have been following along on our blog, you can tell that we are in the Love ‘Em! group.
We have tossed them in miso-butter and roasted them to tender and crispy goodness. We enjoyed them shredded for a hash and topped with a runny egg for a filling breakfast. Today, we keep it simple as a go-to side dish for any entree.
Here are 3 reasons why these Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts are so awesome:
- Roasting caramelizes the natural sugars found in the Brussels sprouts, so it sweetens up this somewhat bitter vegetable.
- We make them even sweeter by adding a touch of maple syrup and balsamic vinegar.
- Quick and easy, these sprouts take 20 minutes to make.
If we haven’t converted you into a Brussels sprouts lover yet, then this quick and delicious side will!
