Roasted Brussels Sprouts

In this recipe, Brussels sprouts gain a sweet, almost nutty flavor when roasted in a high-temperature oven. First, tossing them with balsamic vinegar and a touch of brown sugar enhances their flavor and helps the sprouts caramelize even more. The sprouts will continue to crisp as they cook so roast until very deep brown.

Helpful Tip: Brussels sprouts can vary in size quite a bit. If you have a few sprouts that are larger than the others, to cut those into quarters to ensure that they cook through as quickly as the smaller, halved sprouts.
