Brussels sprouts are an often under-appreciated vegetable. Roasted with garlic and balsamic vinegar, however, they are a truly delicious side and pack an impressive nutritional punch.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment or aluminum foil and set aside.
Rinse sprouts in cool water and then chop off the tough ends. Pull any straggly leaves off the sprouts and then chop each sprout in half vertically. Place in a medium bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together oil, 1 ½ tablespoons of the balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and the freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle over the chopped sprouts and then toss to combine. Spread the sprouts out evenly over the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes or until the sprouts are tender-crisp.
Remove from oven, transfer to a serving dish, drizzle with the reserved tablespoon of vinegar, and sprinkle with kosher salt to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
Roasted Brussels sprouts are definitely best hot out of the oven. If you do have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 2-3 days for best results.
Wondering what to serve these with? Good news-- Brussels sprouts pair beautifully with anything involving bacon, prosciutto, fish, chicken, or steak! You really can't go wrong.
