Balsamic glaze Brussels sprouts are so good; you’d think you were eating out of a five-star restaurant!
The outside of the sprouts becomes impressively crunchy and turns a golden brown color, while the inside remains tender and juicy, providing a delightful contrast in texture.
The balsamic glaze brings out the natural sweetness of the sprouts, giving them an incredibly appetizing look that will make your mouth water.
What are the other ways that make Balsamic Glaze Brussels sprouts tastier and healthier at the same time?
- Substituting sugar for a natural sweetener, like honey or maple syrup, to reduce the amount of sugar in the glaze
- Adding garlic to the glaze to boost the immune system
- Adding herbs and spices, like oregano, rosemary, and thyme, to the glaze to increase the flavor and nutrition
- Adding mustard to the glaze to increase its flavor and nutrient content
- Incorporating freshly squeezed lemon juice into the glaze to increase the vitamin C content
- Adding fresh or dried fruit to the glaze to increase its natural sweetness
Roasting them in a cast iron skillet is one of the easiest and most flavorful methods, and adding a balsamic glaze to the mix will take the flavors to the next level.
This method of cooking gives the sprouts an incredibly crispy outer layer while still preserving their tenderness in the center.
