Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze
A delicious side dish that uses expired Brussels sprouts to reduce food waste. Ensure you thoroughly cook the sprouts to eliminate any potential bacteria.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts (expired but safe to consume)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored outer leaves.
Cut the Brussels sprouts in half.
Place the halved sprouts on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss the sprouts to ensure they are evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
Spread the sprouts in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the sprouts are tender and starting to brown.
While the sprouts are roasting, heat the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Simmer the vinegar for 5-7 minutes until it thickens and reduces to a glaze-like consistency.
Remove the roasted Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
Serve hot and enjoy!
