Balsamic Brussels sprouts

Serves:

Ingredients

• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 3 cups trimmed and halved baby Brussels sprouts

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C or 160°C fan-forced.

Whisk together the vinegar and sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Slowly add the olive oil, whisking continually, until a dressing is formed.

Place the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking tray. Drizzle the oil and vinegar over the sprouts and gently toss to coat.

Bake for 25 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned.

Notes:

• If you prefer softer sprouts, boil them in salted water for about 5 minutes before tossing them in the dressing.
• If I have fresh garlic I like to crush and add a clove to the dressing for extra flavour.
