The Best Brussels Sprout Recipe Ever!

This really is one of the best recipes for Brussels Sprouts ever!
Pan Roasted Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts

2 cups Brussels sprouts, steamed, then cut in half lengthwise
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 400°F.  While the oven is heating, steam the uncut Brussels sprouts in a steamer bag (like Ziploc's Zip and Steam bags) for 3 minutes, then let cool for 10 minutes.  Slice in half lengthwise.

Slowly heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet, then add the sprouts, cut-side down.   Don't move them, let them brown and develop a crust.

Transfer the cast iron skillet to the oven and roast for 4 minutes.

Remove from the oven.  Using tongs, turn each sprout over carefully, then add the balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan, gently shaking and tossing the skillet until there is no excess vinegar in the pan.

Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
