roasted brussel sprouts with a fig balsamic reduction
Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 8:02AM 
roasted brussel sprouts are something i've only recently grown to love, but it's been a whirlwind romance and now i'm obsessed! to take away a little of the bitterness from these tiny little cabbage buds i love this fig balsamic reduction {you can find it at whole foods, or here is a recipe for a balsamic glaze that looks tasty if you'd like to make it yourself!} as a bonus, anything with fig makes your whole dish 60% fancier. not even kidding.
organic brussel sprouts (the smaller, the better)
evoo
sea salt
pepper
balsamic vinegar {optional}
fig balsamic reduction
- chop off base of brusssel sprouts, cut in half
- coat with evoo, sea salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar
- roast at 375 for 20-30 minutes (i used my toaster oven- easy peasy!)
- when they're sufficiently soft, charred and browned to your liking, drizzle fig balsamic reduction and eat whilst feeling very, very fancy! *i prefer to wait until they're room temp

Nom nom nom...I love Brussels sprouts and this combo sounds really good! I wonder if they'd taste good with roasted figs AND the fig balsamic?
victoria that is genius! doubling your fancy factor! :)
Hi Sarah! Those brussels sprouts look fantastic, can't wait to try them like this...usually I rely on bacon to enhance their delicious factor.
well yes, bacon is like magic! I don't know if fig balsamic glaze can compete, but I hope you like them! (your skinny jeans will definitely appreciate) :)
Great recipe but it doesn't give quantities where did it originate from.
