These are roasted balsamic brussel sprouts and they are amazing + super EASY!
Before I got pregnant with my son I seriously HATED the taste of brussel sprouts. My mom and sister love to make them for dinner and I could never understand why. They were so bitter and tasted so weird to me!
Once I got pregnant and wanted to incorporate some more healthy food into my diet, I decided to give brussel sprouts another shot. I wanted to try and “mask” the odd taste they had so I figured balsamic vinegar would do an amazing job plus I just LOVE balsamic vinegar!
I drowned the brussel sprouts in balsamic and then added salt and a BUNCH of freshly ground black pepper. The result, YUM!!!

I figured out how to season these healthy babies and now I am seriously addicted! I literally want them every day lol.
Roasting the brussel sprouts gives them such an amazing crispy, salty, spicy crunch to the outside layer and since I tossed them in olive oil and balsamic vinegar the insides are super moist and FLAVORFUL. You’re going to love them!
I usually make a large batch and eat them for dinner then snack on them the next day for lunch.
