Ingredients for Baked Sweet Sour Brussels Sprouts

  • Brussels Sprouts
  • Cooking Oil
  • Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Parmesan Cheese

How to Make Baked Sweet Sour Brussels Sprouts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Trim and halve or quarter large Brussels sprouts; leave smaller ones whole. Arrange in a single layer in a shallow baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Pour the sweet and sour mixture evenly over the Brussels sprouts.
  5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over the sprouts.
  6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until sprouts are tender and slightly browned, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
