Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze
Print Recipe

Enjoy these perfectly caramelized Brussels sprouts, roasted until tender and then drizzled with a sweet and tangy balsamic glaze. This simple side dish adds a festive touch to any meal, especially for Christmas gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or brown sugar)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are tender and slightly browned.
  5. While the sprouts roast, prepare the glaze: Combine the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup in a small saucepan.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. It should reduce by about half.
  7. Remove the sprouts from the oven. Drizzle the warm balsamic glaze over the roasted sprouts immediately before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use the highest heat your oven allows and roast on a single layer without overcrowding the pan.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, add a tiny bit of cornstarch mixed with water at the end of simmering.
  • You can substitute honey for maple syrup in the glaze if you like.
