Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze, Carmelized Onions and Proscuitto Recipe

________________________________

Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze, Caramelized Onions and Proscuitto (optional)

________________________________

This recipe for brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze is the one I use twice a year for big holiday events (Christmas & Thanksgiving in our house).

Normally I just roast Brussel sprouts with olive oil and garlic, but for major events, I go the extra yard and make a glaze.

I hope you enjoy it!

Equipment

• baking sheet
• small pot
• knife to chop onions

Ingredients

  

• 2 pounds Brussel Sprouts
• garlic powder
• olive oil
• salt
• GLAZE
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 medium onion diced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 oz diced prosciutto (optional)
• 1/2 tsp thyme (optional)

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees
• Clean and halve the brussel sprouts
• Toss the brussel sprouts in olive oil and liberally sprinkle the garlic powder all over the sprouts as you toss them in the oil
• Baking Tray: cover the tray with parchment paper or non-stick foil to make clean up easier.
• Spread the spouts out over the baking tray.
  
• Sprinkle salt (and more garlic powder if you want) over the spouts.
• Bake in the oven for 25-40 minutes (they should be golden, and possibly crispy if that is how you like them.)
  
• While the sprouts bake, make the glaze.
• Melt butter in a small pot.
• Saute onions over low-medium heat in the butter until soft (5-10 minutes).

  You can sprinkle a dash of salt over the onions. If the onions get dry, you can add more butter or olive oil or a spoon of water.
• After 5 minutes, you can add the optional prosciutto, and optional thyme otherwise, cook the onions alone for another 5 minutes.

  When the onions are soft and golden, pour in the balsamic vinegar.
• Cook the glaze for 3-5 minutes until it thickens a bit.
• Toss the roasted sprouts in the glaze and serve.
  
• Enjoy!
