Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Vinegar
Mmmm, brussels sprouts. Yes, I sad Mmmm! I love brussels sprouts. I don’t know why this vegetable is hated by so many. They are probably one of my top ten favorite vegetables (I love all vegetables, so they really are high on the list.) Roasted brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar are my absolute favorite way to eat the little sprouts.
Roasted brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar are the perfect holiday side dish. They are so easy to make. All you have to do is toss the sprouts in a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. The oven will do the rest of the work. The thin outer leaves will crisp up and caramelize while roasting. The center of the sprouts stay tender and juicy. I like popping the sprouts into my mouth straight from the baking sheet. Sometimes they don’t even make it to the table.
If you haven’t tried roasted brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar, please give these cute little sprouts a chance. They make the perfect vegetable side dish for Thanksgiving.

I love brussels! It’s a new thing for me, since I hate vegetables so much. But I really like brussels roasted.
I made my first roasted brussel sprouts this week, and I love them! I think the addition of a bit of balsamic will really give it an extra edge. Thanks
Can you believe I have yet to eat a brussel sprout?! I shouldn’t admit that
Maybe your recipe will convert me! Looks great!

Jenny-you have to try these! They are so good and easy too!
Never had them! But your sure look delicious!
These look delish! I couldn’t live without Brussels Sprouts at our holiday table
My mom used to make the most awful slimy brussel sprouts. I haven’t had the chance to stomach them since. But your description of them sounds so good, that I’ll have to give it a try! Thanks for changing my opinion of them!
I think brussels are my favorite veggie- DEFINTELY in the top 10. Steamed, roasted, shredded into a salad- I don’t think you can go wrong! These look beautiful
I heart brussels sprouts! I can eat a whole pan
Love the recipe!
Okay, I’ll have to try this. I grew up loving Brussels sprouts, and I mean the horrible ones in the frozen boil-in-the-bag package. I could have eaten those for days, and my sister never understood me. I wouldn’t eat them that way now though, because that’s a little scary.

Ha! You are a die hard brussels sprout fan! I love it!
Yes, this is the perfect holiday side dish. I too love brussels sprouts, even when they are simply steamed. But much better when they are roasted like this
xo
I had brussels sprouts once when I was a kid on a cruise ship and I haaated it. I’ll admit I’ve been a little afraid to try them again. I think I need to now, esp with this recipe! The counters look amazing, can’t wait to see the rest!
wow! That was looking Delicious
I never had that type of ……
So much fun! I can’t wait to see the kitchen. And I had the best brussels at Westville in New York City. They were fantastic, and I’ve been craving more ever since.
The countertops look beautiful! I never liked brussels sprouts until I tried roasted ones, but now I’m a convert.
i love love love brussel sprouts…always have! i’ve never done them with balsamic though, and i can’t wait to try it this weekend!
I’m also on Team Brussels! I love those little cuties. And roasted is my absolutely favorite way to eat them. I’ve never even thought to add balsamic to them. mmmm is right!
Loving your countertops!!

Yay for team brussels sprouts:)
I can’t wait to see all the pics of your new kitchen! So exciting!
These sound great! I’m a huge brussels sprouts fan.
I tried brussels sprouts for the first time this year and love them! They would be perfect to serve on Thanksgiving!
I never understood the distaste for Brussel Sprouts, either. I’ve never tried them this way and I look forward to trying it.
I’m totally a brussels lover as well. Roasted is for sure the way to go!
I’m really looking forward to the new kitchen pictures, and also looking forward to making these yummy brussel sprouts sometime soon!
Your new countertop makes a fantastic background – great photo! This is a lovely way to enjoy Brussels sprouts.
I totally agree with you. They get a bad rap and are so good. And I always roast them with balsamic vinegar, seems like I got the idea from Ina. No one else here at my house (hub included) likes them, so I get them all to myself when I make them. Maybe I’ll make a big dish full, and see who else of the 60 we are hosting for T-day likes them. I’m looking for different ideas as I’m kind of tired of the same ol’ traditional foods for Thanksgiving.
I absolutely adore brussel sprouts. So many people think they don’t like them and then they try my roasted brussels and they are hooked. I only use olive oil and sea salt so, I am excited to try with the addition of balsamic. Looks delicious.
I need to try these! They look so yummy!
Now that I am all grown up, I love these. Along with beets, squash, and greens. I love the first photo, it is so pretty.
I love brussel sprouts too. I just don’t think people know how to make them! Looks delicious!
I think people who don’t like them haven’t had them cooked properly – roasted is an excellent way to go! Countertops look gorgeous!
mmmm Brussels. I’ve been eating them for the past month or so. I’m glad I have a new way to cook them, I was running out. I can’t wait to try them : )
Your countertops look beautiful! Roasting is my favorite way of preparing brussel sprouts. I like balsamic vinegar on them too. Just made soy glazed brussel sprouts that are finished with balsamic vinegar.
Love Brussels and am always looking for a new way to make them. The balsamic is a great idea.
Love these…just posted some, with onions, about a month ago. Roasted is the way to go!
I actually love brussels sprouts. Sounds simply, and easy. Pictures are amazing!
I love brussels sprouts! This looks delicious, Maria!
Yum, great minds think alike! We just whipped up some Roasted Brussels with Crispy Pancetta and Garlic. Love the balsamic variety as well. A terrific and healthy Turkey Day swap!
I discovered brussel sprouts last year and am definitely a fan now. Yours look awesome, the new countertops make a great background
I just got a big basket from Bountiful Baskets . A sweet friend of mine surprised me with it today! Well guess..what…it has Brussel sprouts in it. I have never made them before ..so..thank you so much for sharing your recipe..I will l make them to go along side Sunday dinner!
I don’t get why people don’t like Brussells Sprouts, either. I’ve always liked ‘em. Even as a kid. So many different recipes for ‘em this fall. As long as they don’t hide the real flavor of the little cabbages that’s okay by me.
Yum… Brussels roasted with Balsamic vinegar is my FAVORITE way to serve them! Beautiful! And, yes, I do like the look of those countertops… Can’t wait for the big reveal.
