Nutty caramelized brussel sprouts drizzled with a sweet maple balsamic glaze and topped with crispy, salty prosciutto
Sounds like a perfect side to me!
The best part about this recipe is that it actually looks like you went through a whole lot of effort to make an elegant side, when in reality, it’s pretty simple to put together
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
I’m starting with a pound of sprouts that I’ve trimmed of the outer leaves and halved
Line a sheet pan with parchment and spray with cooking spray. Lay the sprouts out in a layer
Drizzle with a tablespoon or two of olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper
Roast for about 20 minutes or until the largest sprouts can be easily pierced with a knife
While the sprouts are roasting, let’s prep the prosciutto
The salty flavor and crispy texture of this ham really compliments the nutty roasted Brussel sprouts and the sweetness of the maple drizzle. Such few ingredients but they work so well together
I have about a quarter of a pound of thinly sliced prosciutto that I’ve cut into strips
Add to a pan over medium heat about 4 to 5 minutes until crispy. I made them in 2 batches so they didn’t overcrowd
Set the proscuitto aside and let’s make the glaze. Add 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to a small pan over medium high heat. This will cook quickly so don’t walk away
Stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture becomes syrupy. Add a pinch of kosher salt and now we’re ready for assembly!
Add the Brussel sprouts to a bowl, top with the crispy prosciutto strips and drizzle with the maple balsamic
Enjoy!

I actually just opened a maple balsamic vinegar a minute ago! maple flavored balsamic! I added it to a cranberry maple vinaigrette I made for a raclette meal coming up; I always serve a fun salad. But as far as flavors go, maple and balsamic vinegar are a perfect match, and perfect for B sprouts!
How convenient that they’re already combined! I agree! Maple and balsamic are a perfect match!
