Crispy Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic and Hominy is the perfect side dish for the holiday season. Bump your brussels to the next level with balsamic vinegar, garlic, and hominy. You and your family will be craving this brussel sprouts recipe all year long!
Roasted vegetables are my favorite fall side dish! Roasted brussel sprouts with balsamic and roasted brussels sprouts with bacon are classics.
This balsamic brussel sprouts recipe is a take on Tupelo Honey's popular appetizer! The crispy brussel sprouts pair perfectly with cooked hominy, both then tossed together in a garlic balsamic glaze.
Now you may be wondering what hominy tastes like? It has a soft and creamy texture, similar to balls of polenta or grits.
Best Way to Cook Brussel Sprouts
Cooking brussel sprouts can be done in the oven, in a skillet, or even in an air fryer! My mom has a fantastic baked brussel sprouts recipe, similar to this one.
I love oven roasted brussel sprouts because they get the perfect tender texture inside while the leaves crisp up on the outside.
Preheat your oven to 425F and prepare brussels sprouts by trimming them and slicing in half. Toss sliced sprouts with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper. Roast for about 30 minutes, until tender and caramelized.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts Tips
- Trimming: Chop off the tough stem at the end of each brussels sprout. You'll also want to remove and damaged leaves.
- Preparing: I prefer to roast my brussels sliced in half. Having a perfectly flat edge lets them get that beautiful caramelization from the baking pan.
- Roasting: Don't overcrowd the pan! It's better to work in batches or use a second baking dish. If the brussels are too close to each other, they'll steam rather than roasting, resulting in soft but not crispy sprouts.
- Seasoning: I keep my brussels pretty basic, with just salt, pepper, and garlic. The balsamic gives them a great depth of flavor, but feel free to play around with your spices.
Recipe FAQ
If using frozen sprouts, thaw completely first, pat dry, then cook as directed. I highly suggest using fresh brussels sprouts though, which are in season from October to March.
Place cooked brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, place in an oven preheated to 350F. Let cook until heated through, about 5-10 minutes.
I love adding them to salads or bowls for lunch. (Like this quinoa salad with roasted veggies!) You can also simply serve them alongside any protein or pasta. Lastly, you can turn them into smashed brussels sprouts for a fun appetizer or add them to your thanksgiving leftovers poutine!
