The Best balsamic vinegar brussel sprout recipe

The tangy balsamic glaze pairs perfectly with the roasted sprouts, and even my kids, who used to turn up their noses at vegetables, ask for seconds. This dish is packed with fiber, vitamin K, and vitamin C, making it a healthy choice for any meal. It is simple enough for a weeknight dinner but elegant enough for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I love that it comes together quickly with just a few ingredients, and the caramelized edges give it a sweet and savory flavor that everyone enjoys.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Yes, you can use frozen Brussels sprouts, but they will be softer and may not get as crispy. Thaw them first and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture before roasting.

2. How do I make the balsamic glaze without honey?

You can substitute honey with maple syrup, agave nectar, or brown sugar for a similar sweetness. For a sugar free option, use a sugar free maple syrup or omit the sweetener altogether, though the glaze will be more tart.

3. Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

Yes, you can roast the Brussels sprouts and make the glaze up to a day in advance. Store them separately in the fridge, then reheat the sprouts in the oven at 350°F for 5 to 10 minutes and toss with the glaze before serving.

4. What can I serve with balsamic Brussels sprouts?

These sprouts pair well with roasted chicken, steak, pork chops, or salmon. They also make a great side for holiday meals like Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.

5. How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or an air fryer to bring back some crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it will make them soggy.
