Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare your grill for medium-high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grates.
- In a bowl, toss the halved brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
- Place the sprouts cut-side down directly on the grill grates. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes until you see good char marks.
- Flip the sprouts and grill for another 5 minutes.
- While the sprouts finish cooking, combine the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until the mixture thickens slightly into a glaze.
- Remove the sprouts from the grill and place them in a clean bowl.
- Pour the balsamic glaze over the hot sprouts and toss quickly to coat them completely.
- Serve immediately as a healthy bbq side.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading the sprouts onto them.
- If you do not have brown sugar, you can substitute it with maple syrup for a similar effect in the glaze.
