Fear not, friends. No slimy brussels here. Crisp and caramelized on the outside, perfectly tender on the inside, coated with a salty sweet balsamic glaze, and topped with bacon? Meet your new favorite green vegetable. The main course will be jealous that the brussels sprouts have stolen the show.
Simple ingredients, big flavors...
These Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon and Balsamic are so easy to make. Just trim, toss with a little bit of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Top with bacon and roast until tender. That's it!
Speaking of Balsamic... If you're new here you probably don't know that we lived in Italy for a while in 2014. While we were there I got to see how traditional balsamic is made. It's so amazing. You can read all about our trip to the Acetaia here.
