As a kid, I could not stand the sight of Brussels sprouts. Don’t ask me what happened but somehow they’ve become my favorite side dish! They’re high in vitamin C and have fair amounts of vitamin A and B-6. They also contain iron, calcium and magnesium. Here’s a simple and delicious recipe I hope you enjoy.
1 lb small Brussels sprouts cut in half
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup of diced pancetta
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Heat the oven to 400 . Place the Brussels sprouts in a bowl, add olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to cover evenly and place in a baking sheet on a lower rack of the oven. Roast for 10-15 minutes and toss. Roast for another 10-15 minutes until done. As soon as you take them out of the oven, pour in the balsamic vinegar , mix well and serve.
Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite foods. … my mouth is watering, just writing up this recipe.
