To be totally honest, this was my absolute FIRST time eating brussels sprouts. I have avoided them my WHOLE life. I told myself I wouldn’t like them and so I “didn’t like them.” That was until they showed up to my door in prepared veggie box that I ordered.
My mission was to make them so I would LOVE them!
And I will admit, I LOVED them!
Here is how….
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs brussels sprouts
- 3 tbsp olive oil separated
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp honey
- 6 pieces of bacon or turkey bacon cooked.
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 425°F.
-
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking oil.
-
Trim off the outer, dry leaves, cut the bottom off and slice sprouts lengthwise. (I had really big brussels, and when I make them again I will cut them even smaller.)
-
In a large bowl, toss brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, kosher salt and black pepper to coat thoroughly.
-
Transfer the brussels sprouts to baking sheet and roast until tender and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
-
Place brussels sprouts back in bowl. Add remaining tablespoon olive oil, balsamic vinegar and honey and toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle in bacon pieces and toss!
- Devour!
