Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries and Balsamic

I was so excited to serve and taste these brussels sprouts.


Did you ever make something so easy that wowed everyone?


Well, these brussels sprouts with cranberries and balsamic vinegar did just that.


First of all, besides being a totally easy recipe, I was over the moon that they were featured in "Taste of Home Magazine!"


That was a huge compliment, tried and true and was featured in their Holiday issue.


If you love brussels sprouts, just have to try these.


A little sweetness compliments these little cabbages perfectly!


One of my very favorite ways to serve brussels sprouts, a vegetable that really doesn't get enough attention.

Roasting Brussels Sprouts



If you haven't tried roasting these mini cabbages, do it!


They actually caramelize while baking.


The outer leaves are sweet and crisp.


Blended with a few other ingredients, you have the perfect fall side dish.

What Could Be Prettier?



As I mentioned above, I love how these look for the Holiday tables.


Green and red and flavorful that just shouts fall.


Even the kids tried them and you know how hard it is to get kids to eat a vegetable like brussels sprouts!

Quick Tips:



Keep Brussels sprouts on the stalk when buying them loose, they stay fresh longer.


Keeping them on the stalks will keep the moisture in.


Use an airtight container and in the refrigerator.


While Brussels sprouts are best kept whole until you’re ready to use them.


If you do trim, cut, or shred Brussels sprouts ahead of time, do so no more than one to two days in advance.


When you've roasted your Brussels sprouts can be served as a side straight from the oven, or you can toss them with a few other kitchen ingredients to change them up a little other than this great recipe.


Additions like Parmesan cheese or even some bacon with honey drizzled over the tops and tossed.


Oven-roasted Brussels sprouts require three things: a hot oven if you halved and trimmed Brussels sprouts they do cook quicker but you can leave them whole for presentation but they take longer to cook.


You’ll need a good baking sheet with either parchment paper or even a foiled cooking spray covered pan for carmelizing.


Preheating the oven is a must! Cooking in a preheated hot oven is essential to roasting these.


While the oven gets hot, rinse the Brussels sprouts, then trim and halve them.


Cleaning is a breeze, you must begin by removing the woody end and any yellow or brown leaves.


Once trimmed, halve the Brussels sprouts from top to bottom, leaving the stem in place to hold the leaves together.


Now you are good to go!


Enjoy!
