In this recipe, the Brussels sprouts are roasted with balsamic vinegar since it is great-tasting, tried-and-tested combination.
Ever since I started roasting vegetables, I have been really into this method of cooking – just toss bite-sized pieces of the food with olive oil, then season with the salt, pepper and herbs. Then pop them into the oven to cook. Both the cooking and cleaning up is totally no-fuss. You can cook many types of vegetables with this base recipe.
Brussels sprout is a healthy vegetable, touted to have anti-cancer properties and contains good amounts of vitamin A, vitamin C, folic acid and dietary fibre.
Balsamic vinegar is a great-tasting combination with Brussels sprouts, but you may omit it from the recipe if preferred.
