Roasted Brussels sprouts, a cruciferous vegetable known for its health benefits, are transformed into a delightful dish with a balsamic glaze and crispy pancetta. The balsamic vinegar adds a tangy sweetness, while the pancetta provides a savory crunch. This side dish is easy to make and pairs well with various main courses, making it a versatile addition to any meal.
In this article, you'll find two variations of this recipe: a classic version featuring just Brussels sprouts, balsamic vinegar, and pancetta, and a more elaborate version that includes additional ingredients like honey, Dijon mustard, and dried cranberries. Both recipes are simple to follow and yield delicious results, making them perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.
The classic balsamic-glazed Brussels sprouts with pancetta recipe starts with roasting the Brussels sprouts in the oven until they are tender and slightly browned. The pancetta is then cooked separately until crispy. Once both components are ready, they are combined in a bowl and tossed with a balsamic glaze made from balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. The result is a flavorful and visually appealing dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
The second recipe, balsamic-glazed Brussels sprouts with honey, Dijon mustard, and dried cranberries, takes the classic dish to a new level with the addition of these ingredients. The honey adds a touch of sweetness, while the Dijon mustard provides a subtle tang. The dried cranberries add a pop of color and a slightly chewy texture. This variation is perfect for those who enjoy a more complex and flavorful side dish.
Both recipes are easy to customize to your liking. For example, you could use different types of vinegar, such as white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar, in the glaze. You could also add other ingredients, such as nuts, seeds, or grated cheese, to the finished dish. No matter how you choose to prepare it, balsamic-glazed Brussels sprouts with pancetta is a delicious and healthy side dish that is sure to be a hit.

For maximum caramelization, make sure the cut side of the Brussels sprouts are flush with the bottom of the baking dish. As the whole thing bakes, the salty pancetta fat will melt over the sprouts imparting luscious porky flavor as the pancetta itself turns crisp.

- Set the temp on a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.

Tips:
- Choose the right Brussels sprouts. Look for small, firm sprouts with tightly packed leaves. Avoid any that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts properly. Cut off the stem end and any discolored leaves. If the sprouts are large, you can also cut them in half or quarters.
- Cook the Brussels sprouts until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. You can do this by roasting, sautéing, or steaming them.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the Brussels sprouts. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Season the Brussels sprouts generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Make the balsamic glaze before you cook the Brussels sprouts. This will give it time to thicken and develop a rich flavor.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts in the balsamic glaze while they are still hot. This will help the glaze to adhere to the sprouts.
- Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts with pancetta is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Brussels sprouts are roasted until tender and then tossed in a sweet and tangy balsamic glaze. The pancetta adds a salty and smoky flavor that complements the Brussels sprouts perfectly.
