Oven-Roasted Brussels Sprouts

If I had to sum up my love of food in one bite it would be a roasted Brussels sprout coated in a balsamic vinegar reduction. I LOVE BRUSSELS SPROUTS. I don’t shout that with enthusiasm. Those caps imply a seriousness that can not be translated through this text. To take away the creepiness from this post, I will go forth with the recipe. Just be warned that roasted Brussels sprouts are the elixir of amazing.

Ingredients

• 1 lb of Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of black pepper

Directions

1. Remove outer layer and wilted leaves. Rinse well or soak in water and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar. Half the sprouts.

2. Coat in olive oil and top with salt and pepper. Be sure the make sure each sprout is equally coated.

3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

I usually add balsamic vinegar. I love white blush and dark and sometimes I combine the two. Here is the difference in color. White blush is definitely much more sweet than dark. The flavors are quite complementary.

This should be your end result.  PERFECTION!
