Delicious Caramelized Brussels Sprouts Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
16
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for roasting)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for caramelization)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (for drizzle)
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese (grated, for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    This ensures even cooking.
  2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts

    Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts.

    Make sure they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
  3. Toss with Oil and Seasonings

    In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.

    Ensure they are evenly coated for better caramelization.
  4. Roast in the Oven

    Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.

    Look for a golden brown color for the best flavor.
  5. Add Balsamic Vinegar

    Drizzle with balsamic vinegar during the last 5 minutes of roasting.

    This adds a nice tangy flavor.
  6. Serve

    Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with parmesan cheese if desired.

    Serve warm for the best taste.
