Balsamic-glazed Brussels sprouts
6
Blanching the Brussels sprouts before roasting them allows them to roast evenly and not burn in the oven. You can make your own balsamic glaze by slowly reducing 1 cup of balsamic vinegar with a tablespoon of sugar. Place the mixture on simmer until it is reduced by half, with about ½ cup left. This must be done slowly to create a flavorful glaze.
- Olive oil spray, 1 x two-second spray(s)
- Brussels sprouts, 3 cup(s), cleaned and halved
- Red onion, 1 cup(s), chopped
- Extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp(s)
- Kosher salt, ½ tsp(s)
- Black pepper, ¼ tsp(s), ground
- Balsamic glaze, 2 tbsp(s)
Method
Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil.
Place a steamer basket over the boiling water, add the Brussels sprouts, and steam approximately 3-5 minutes, depending on size of sprouts. Remove the steamer basket and drain off excess water from Brussels sprouts.
In a large bowl, mix steamed Brussels sprouts with onion, oil, salt and pepper. Toss well to evenly season the Brussels sprouts and onions.
Roast 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are golden brown in spots (caramelized) and tender.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the roasted Brussels sprouts and onions and serve.
