Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 3 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or wilted outer leaves. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the Brussels sprouts cut-side down on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and browned and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the warm balsamic vinaigrette. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is warm, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant (be careful not to burn the garlic).
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk the mixture until fully combined and warmed through, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them to a serving bowl and drizzle the warm balsamic vinaigrette over them. Toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy as a side dish or a stand-alone vegetable dish!
