"If you know what you're doing, roasted Brussels sprouts won't simply be an overlooked side dish. It's all about the flavorings. Once you pair this veggie with the right ingredients, you'll uncover the charm that's been hiding underneath that humbly rustic, earthy taste all along. A balsamic glaze, as it turns out, is how you do it. In one easy splash, this dish will go from ordinary to enticing, fit for the most decadent and comforting home-cooked meals."
"Balsamic roasted Brussels sprouts are everything you could ask for in a side dish. The glaze is added after roasting, to veggies that are crispy-edged from the oven, with their richer base notes pronounced from the roasting and the vegetal sharpness subdued. Rather than merely fading to the background at this point, it's the balsamic glaze that brings it to life. The caramelized acidity hits your senses instantly upon the first taste, deeply sweet one moment and darkly tangy the next."
"Not only does this glaze give you restaurant-worthy Brussels sprouts, but it's also straightforward to make. Just roast the Brussels sprouts like usual for around 15-20 minutes, and while they're in the oven (or the air fryer), mix the ingredients. Making balsamic glaze is easy - all it requires is boiling and then simmering balsamic vinegar with a few seasonings and aromatics."
Balsamic glaze transforms roasted Brussels sprouts into a rich, enticing side. Roasting produces crispy edges and deepens the sprouts' base notes while taming vegetal sharpness. The glaze is added after roasting so caramelized acidity and layered sweetness-tang coat the sprouts without overpowering other dishes. A simple reduction of balsamic vinegar with seasonings (or a pinch of brown sugar) yields a glossy, thick syrup in about ten minutes. Alternatively, whisking balsamic with wholegrain mustard and maple syrup creates an even easier finish. The result is a restaurant-worthy vegetable side that elevates home-cooked meals.
