• Salt and Pepper
• Balsamic Vinegar

If you’re wondering how to cook Brussels sprouts, we like this super simple method of starting with a hot frying pan and finishing them off in a hot oven.

We try to use olive oil while cooking, whenever possible, because of it’s healthy profile.

Use regular olive oil for this Brussels sprouts recipe if you have it since it has a higher smoke point than extra virgin olive oil and will allow you to get a hotter sear on the cut edges of these sprouts.

How to Cook Brussels Sprouts

Start by slicing the Brussels sprouts in half, top to bottom.  Next, you’re going to heat the olive oil in a frying pan until it simmers.

In a single layer, place the Brussels sprouts cut side down in the hot oil and add the garlic and salt and pepper.

You want to allow the sprouts to be brown on the bottoms by leaving them undisturbed until they have a nicely seared finish,

You’re going to finish roasting these Brussels sprouts in a 400° oven, for about 10 or 15 minutes.

Shake the pan a bit, every five minutes or so to help ensure an even roasting process and keep an eye on the sprouts because oven temperatures can vary.

Once these sprouts come out of the oven, they’re almost ready to serve.

First, though, you’re going to slather them well with a healthy dose of quality and aged balsamic vinegar.

As with all recipes, make this easy Brussels sprouts recipe your own. Adjust the amounts of salt and pepper to your taste and the same hold true for the garlic.

For some delicious variations for this Brussels sprouts recipe, consider adding some chopped pancetta or some chopped bacon. Either will lend a nice flavor to this easy side dish.
