Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze and Cranberries

If you still have some leftover turkey here's another side that is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Also it's an easy not to time consuming recipe. The Balsamic glaze can be made ahead and since the Brussels sprouts are made in the oven there is not much tending to them.

Ingredients;

2 pounds Brussels Sprouts
1/3 cup Olive oil
Salt/pepper
1 cup Balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
Dried cranberries


Trim the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Arrange on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and roast at 375F for 25 to 30 minutes, they should be golden brown.




While the Brussels sprouts are in the oven combine the balsamic vinegar and sugar in a saucepan, bring to a boil then reduce heat and continue boiling until the glaze is thick (take into consideration that it will continue thickening as it cools of)

Drizzle the balsamic reduction generously over the roasted Brussels sprouts, keep the rest of the glaze for later. Sprinkle with dried cranberries. Toss and serve!



Enjoy!
