Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • small pot
  • knife to chop onions

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Brussel Sprouts
  • garlic powder
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • GLAZE
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 medium onion diced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 oz diced prosciutto (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp thyme (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  • Clean and halve the brussel sprouts
  • Toss the brussel sprouts in olive oil and liberally sprinkle the garlic powder all over the sprouts as you toss them in the oil
  • Baking Tray: cover the tray with parchment paper or non-stick foil to make clean up easier.
  • Spread the spouts out over the baking tray.
  • Sprinkle salt (and more garlic powder if you want) over the spouts.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-40 minutes (they should be golden, and possibly crispy if that is how you like them.)
  • While the sprouts bake, make the glaze.
  • Melt butter in a small pot.
  • Saute onions over low-medium heat in the butter until soft (5-10 minutes).
    You can sprinkle a dash of salt over the onions. If the onions get dry, you can add more butter or olive oil or a spoon of water.
  • After 5 minutes, you can add the optional prosciutto, and optional thyme otherwise, cook the onions alone for another 5 minutes.
    When the onions are soft and golden, pour in the balsamic vinegar.
  • Cook the glaze for 3-5 minutes until it thickens a bit.
  • Toss the roasted sprouts in the glaze and serve.
  • Enjoy!
