Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts Recipe
Here’s the thing about Brussels Sprouts – they’re super underrated. When cooked the right way, they taste sweet. If overcooked, they turn bitter. The most common way to prepare Brussels Sprouts is to roast them. But, I’ve tried 100% roasting with less than appealing results. The secret is to pan fry them in a cast iron skillet first and then transfer them to the oven to roast. Perfection every time.
Shopping Tip: Look for bright green Brussels Sprouts. Yellow leaves and black spots mean they’re beginning to spoil.
