Side

Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Serve 4

1 lb Brussels sprouts
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp avocado oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Preheat the oven to 350F. Prep the Brussels sprouts – remove any damaged leaves and cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients except for balsamic vinegar together making sure it is fully coated before roasting in the oven. Spread the Brussel sprouts on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-30 minutes or until it is golden brown. When it is still hot, quickly pour balsamic vinegar to ensure it fully coats the roasted Brussels sprouts. You may want to season with more pepper and salt if you need more.
