Method
Preparation
- 1
Trim the Brussel Sprouts
Cut off the stem ends of the Brussel sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry.
- 2
Cut the Brussel Sprouts
Slice each Brussel sprout in half lengthwise. This will help them caramelize evenly.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 4
Add Brussel Sprouts
Add the halved Brussel sprouts to the skillet, cut side down. Ensure they are in a single layer for even cooking.
- 5
Season and Cook
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes or until the cut sides are golden brown.
- 6
Stir and Add Vinegar and Maple Syrup
Once the sprouts are caramelized on one side, stir them gently. Add the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup, stirring to coat the sprouts.

Finish Cooking
Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussel sprouts are tender and caramelized.
