Inspired by my recipe for butternut squash and Brussels sprouts, this combination is just as simple to prepare. Since not everyone is a fan of winter squash, I decided to use carrots in its place to provide a similar contrast of flavors and colors.
And this dish also utilizes one of my favorite ingredients, balsamic vinegar.
It adds a subtle sweetness thanks to its aging process. Besides using it to tame the acidity of tomatoes in recipes like tomato paste pasta sauce, I enjoy using it with Brussels sprouts to enhance their taste.

Amy's tip
If you are cooking something else in the oven, you can roast the Brussels sprouts and carrots at the same time, as long as the oven temperature is between 400° and 450°F. The lower the temperature, the longer they will take to cook.
