Balsamic Brussels sprouts are crispy, tangy and a great side vegetable!
My mother is gonna die when she hears this: I’ve started eating Brussels sprouts. Like, on a list of food that I like. The one time she tried to feed them to us growing up, all of us nearly puked at the table so that we could get out of having to choke them down. When they became trendy again a year or two ago, I still couldn’t get on board. I was finally unable to resist attempting to make these crispy morsels people wouldn’t stop talking about. I gave it a try, and now I’m sold.
They’re a lot like asparagus – Brussels sprouts have a pretty distinct taste, and so you have to get used to that, but everything is easy to get used to when it’s roasted with some oil and salt and pepper! This way with the balsamic is just one way that I like to prepare them. Earlier this week I did just salt, pepper and lemon juice. So yummy!
I keep burning some of the Brussels sprouts, not going to lie. I just so desperately want them to be crispy that I keep scorching the dickens outta them…soon, if this amount of time is too long, I’m sorry. I shortened it. Just imagine what it was like with an extra five minutes.
Tell me about a food you were scared to try!
