    Bowl of Balsamic Brussels Sprouts and Grapes.

    Bursting with sweet and savory flavors, Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Grapes is a unique vegan side dish perfect for the holidays. And it's easy to make with a handful of ingredients in only 30 minutes.

    Roasting is my favorite way to enjoy Brussels sprouts. This cruciferous vegetable has such a wonderful taste when browned and simply seasoned with salt and pepper.

    But when you're in the mood for something a little different, grapes are an addition you may not have thought of. The skins get slightly crispy, while the insides are soft and juicy. The textures are a nice contrast to the crunchy outer leaves of the sprouts.

    And the combination of bitter and sweet goes well with dishes such as Lentil Meatloaf Muffins and Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes. Talk about a delicious Thanksgiving feast. And don't forget the Easy Vegan Mushroom Gravy!

    • Brussels sprouts

    • Olive oil
    • Salt and pepper

    I recommend Nonna Pia's Balsamic Glaze. Unlike many other brands, it doesn't contain artificial ingredients or added thickeners. It's simply balsamic vinegar of Modena, Italy and non-GMO granulated cane sugar.

    FAQ

    Is balsamic vinegar glaze the same as balsamic vinegar?

    Balsamic vinegar is a vinegar made from grapes. Balsamic glaze is made by heating balsamic vinegar with a sweetener to make a thick syrup.

    What can I substitute for balsamic glaze?

    You can take balsamic vinegar and sugar and make your own balsamic glaze.

    What should I look for when buying Brussels sprouts?

    Choose ones that are firm and compact with a bright green color. Smaller sprouts tend to be sweeter and less bitter. Store them in the refrigerator and use them within a week of purchasing.

      Surprisingly delicious, I tried some with white truffle balsamic glace and some with balsamic fig glaze both where great. Comment from the Hub pretty darn tasty as he had a second helping. Oh and I omitted the oil just used salt and pepper to roast,
