Balsamic Vinaigrette Roasted Brussel Sprouts

There is a reason that a lot of people don’t like Brussel sprouts.  They can be bitter, but I am coming to the conclusion that you can pretty much roast anything and it will be delicious.  Brussel sprouts are no exception.  Add a delicious marinade like Balsamic vinaigrette and it takes them to an entirely new level.

Pre-heat oven to 450°F.

So, take your sprouts and cut off the stem ends and then slice the bulb in half.  Put halves back in a bowl and set aside for the moment.

Mix oil, vinaigrette, and minced garlic in a small bowl and pour over sprouts.  Add dry seasonings on top and toss sprouts until each one is evenly coated.  Add more seasonings to personal preference.

Spread sprouts out evenly on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil, parchment paper, or a silicone mat.  Place on center rack in oven and bake for 20 minutes.  If you want a little more char on your sprouts broil them on low for 2 minutes.

These go great with some bits of crispy bacon:).  They are great by themselves but make a great easy side dish for many many meals.

Balsamic Vinaigrette Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Prep Time10 minutes mins

Cook Time20 minutes mins

Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Brussel sprouts
• 1/2 cup Balsamic Vinaigrette
• 3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450°F

  Cut the stem off of the brussel sprout bulbs and then cut bulbs in half.  Set bulbs aside in a large mixing bowl.  
• Combine Balsamic vinaigrette, olive or avocado oil and minced garlic in a small bowl and pour over sprouts. 
• Add dry seasonings to the sprout bowl and toss thoroughly until each sprout is coated.  Add more seasonings to desired taste.  
• Line baking sheet with foil, parchment paper, or a silicone mat and spread the sprouts out evenly.  It does not matter if the flat side is facing up or down.  I like for there to be an even mix so that there's a char on some of the rounds and flats of the sprouts.  
• Bake on the center rack for 20 minutes or until the sprouts are tender and charred.  I like to broil these after for 2 minutes on Lo to get an even crispier sprout. 🙂 
• Crispy bits of bacon just bring these to another level.  These are great by themselves but I like to pair them with salmon. 
• Hope you enjoy!
