I think I took a decent break in the month of October and now all geared up for the upcoming holiday season. In the coming days, I will be sharing some exciting seasonal and holiday recipes that are perfect for any parties and potlucks.
The November month blogging marathon themes were so excellent and were aligned well with my planned recipes too. And I couldn’t say no. So I am starting the first week with the Thanksgiving recipes.
Brussels Sprouts
I love Brussels sprouts, and I call them mini cabbages. I have already posted two Indian recipes with it – the kootu and the paratha. Today I am going to share the simplest of all – just roasted Brussels sprouts with the hint of honey and balsamic vinegar.
All you have to do is chop the Brussels sprouts into halves, drizzle some olive oil. Bake and sprinkle the other condiments and serve. That’s it. It is pretty much similar to my Baked Asparagus recipe. I was just contemplating about the oven temperature. I baked the asparagus at 400 deg F for 27 minutes flipping halfway through. But for this, I wanted to increase the heat and also wanted even browning.
That’s when I landed upon this recipe, and I decided to go with their baking time. It just turned out perfect. Also, for this recipe, I used the balsamic vinegar that I received at IFBC – The original balsamic vinegar of Modena. I just added 1 tbsp, but the amount of flavor it infused was just incredible.
Before getting into the recipe, please find the other similar recipes from my archives.
