Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze
The combination of sweet and savory elements in these oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze make it a perfect complement for a wide variety of main dishes.
I have always enjoyed Brussel Sprouts but am aware that not everyone loves them. The key is to cook them full of flavor and to the right tenderness.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb. small Brussels sprouts, rinsed and cut in half
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. real maple syrup
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron or other oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Then add the prepared Brussel sprouts to skillet and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for several minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts begin to turn brown.
Step 3
Once browned, transfer the skillet into the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove sprouts from oven once they are tender and start to turn a rich brown color.
Make the sauce
Step 4
While the sprouts are roasting, add balsamic vinegar and maple syrup to a small skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to medium.
Step 5
Continue stirring until the vinegar mixture reduces to about 1/3 of its
original volume and becomes thick and syrupy. (Do not overcook or it will
become too hard and sticky).
To Serve
Transfer the cooked Brussel sprouts to a plate and drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze. Serve and enjoy!

This is exactly how I make my brussel sprouts for Thanksgiving and the holidays too. So delicious! The balsamic and maple syrup combination turns brussel sprout haters into fans. Can’t wait to have them again for Christmas dinner. Pinned
