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.
the what:
organic brussel sprouts (the smaller, the better)
evoo
sea salt
pepper
balsamic vinegar {optional}
fig balsamic reduction
the how:
- 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.
