Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze
Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze Recipe
This recipe for Brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze is the one I use twice a year for big holiday events (Christmas & Thanksgiving in our house).
Normally I just roast Brussel sprouts with olive oil and garlic, but for major events, I go the extra yard to make the glaze.
I hope you enjoy it!

Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze Recipe
Serves 12
Ingredients
- 1-2 pounds of Brussel sprouts
- garlic powder
- salt
- olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2-3 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- optional: a pinch of thyme
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Clean and halve Brussel sprouts.
- Toss sprouts in a bowl with enough olive oil to lightly coat them.
- Sprinkle garlic powder liberally over the sprouts and continue tossing them to get garlic on all the sprouts.
- Prepare a cookie sheet. I put nonstick foil or parchment paper on the tray to prevent sticking and for ease of cleaning.
- Spread Brussel sprouts out over the cookie tray.
- Sprinkle salt over all of the sprouts.
- Bake 30-35 minutes.
- While sprouts bake, prepare the glaze.
- Melt the butter in a small pot.
- Add the diced onion and saute for 5-10 minutes over medium heat until onions are soft.
- Sprinkle a small amount of salt on the onions as they cook
- You can add more butter or a dash of olive oil if you need more to cook the onions. A dash of water can also be used.
- Optional: add 1/2 tsp chopped garlic to the onion for the last 1 minute.
- Optional: a pinch of dried thyme can be added at this point.
- Add balsamic vinegar to the onions and stir over low-medium heat. Cook for 2-5 mins to thicken a bit.
- Put cooked Brussel sprouts in a bowl and toss with the balsamic glaze.
- Serve
