A simple and delicious recipe for roasted Brussels sprouts with sweet bell peppers and shallots, enhanced by a touch of balsamic vinegar. Perfect as a flavorful side dish that is crispy on the edges and tender inside.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 3 pints Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved, about 1 lb)
  • 2 large shallots (cut into slices)
  • 2 red or orange bell peppers (cut into 2 inch chunks)

Seasonings and Oil

  • 3–4 tablespoons olive oil or melted coconut oil (more as needed to lightly coat vegetables)
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • Coarse salt (to taste)
  • Ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the vegetables to a crispy and caramelized finish.
  2. Toss vegetables with oil and seasoning: In a large bowl, toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts, sliced shallots, and bell pepper chunks with 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil or melted coconut oil. Add more oil if needed so all vegetables are lightly coated. Spread the mixture evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Season generously with coarse salt and ground black pepper.
  3. Initial roasting: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15 minutes. This will start to brown the vegetables, developing flavor and texture.
  4. Stir and continue roasting: Carefully stir the vegetables to promote even browning, then return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes until the Brussels sprouts and other vegetables are browned and tender.
  5. Finish with balsamic vinegar: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately drizzle the roasted vegetables with 2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar to add a tangy sweetness that complements the roasted flavors.
  6. Serve: Serve the roasted Brussels sprouts and vegetables immediately while hot for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • If you prefer a more caramelized flavor, extend roasting time by a few minutes but keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent vegetables from sliding off when stirring.
  • Experiment with different oils such as avocado oil for a unique taste and higher smoke point.
  • For added crunch, sprinkle toasted nuts or seeds on top before serving.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
