Garlic-infused olive oil roasted brussels sprouts are tossed with a balsamic honey syrup, leaving them crispy on the outside and oozing with flavor on the inside.
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
¼ cup olive oil
kosher salt, to taste
2 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
¾ cup white balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp honey
1 bay leaf
Instructions
Heat oven to 400F.
In a small pan, heat the oil and garlic slices over medium-low heat. Allow to simmer until the garlic becomes crispy and browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the garlic to a small bowl with a slotted spoon, reserving the infused oil. Season the garlic with salt, to taste.
Toss the Brussels sprouts with the garlic infused oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until crispy.
Meanwhile, in the same pan, whisk together the white balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer. Allow to cool until thickened, about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 6 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.
When the Brussels sprouts are done, toss with the syrup. Serve topped with the fried garlic chips.
