A grownup taste found in a circular from The Fresh Market tweaked to be a bit healthier. The heat of the red pepper flakes and the sweetness of the brown sugar & balsamic vinegar complement the bite of the sprouts. Ingredients:
1 lb fresh brussels sprout, halved |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
4 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped |
1/2 lemon, juiced |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste) |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Steam the Brussels sprouts over boiling water until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
2. Heat oil and garlic over medium-high heat until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
3. Add Brussels sprouts, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and salt; stirring until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
4. Add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, stir for a minute and remove from heat.
5. Serve immediately.
