Delicious Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Mushrooms

This recipe showcases the natural sweetness of Brussels sprouts paired with the rich depth of roasted mushrooms, all brought together with a balsamic glaze. The preparation takes about 30 minutes and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• Toasted nuts or grated parmesan for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables: Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts and slice the mushrooms.
3. Toss with Oil: In a large bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts and mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
4. Roast the Vegetables: Spread the Brussels sprouts and mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are caramelized and the mushrooms are tender, stirring halfway through.
5. Make the Balsamic Glaze: While the vegetables are roasting, combine balsamic vinegar and honey (if using) in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
6. Combine and Serve: Once the vegetables are done, drizzle the balsamic glaze over them and toss to combine. Serve warm, garnished with toasted nuts or grated parmesan if desired.
