Another addition to my “Super Sides” series is my Balsamic Roasted Brussel Sprouts. They are tangy, beautifully seasoned, and roasted to perfection, making them a great addition to any dinner spread. Brussel sprouts can be used in many ways, whether they are raw shaved in a salad or slaw, fried for crispy leaves, or even steamed with a pat of butter added at the end. My favorite way to eat them is roasted, and this recipe is the way I do it.
Brussel sprouts are part of the cabbage family. This leafy green vegetable is full of vitamin C and K, and is a great source of fiber. While I feel that brussel sprouts have the reputation for having a sulfur quality (due to containing sulforaphane), I feel that this recipe highlights the deliciousness hidden inside these baby-cabbage look alikes.
If you are looking for a healthy flavor packed side dish that you can make in 30 minutes, look no further. These brussel sprouts are simple, scrumptious, and definitely a super side.
