Belberry Balsamic Glazes come in a variety of infused flavours. We keep finding new ways to use them all. This sweet balsamic reduction can season salads, grilled veggies, meat and fish. For this dish, we chose Belberry Wild Lemon Balsamic Glaze. The sweet balsamic balances well against the hint of bitter in Brussels sprouts.
We also love the taste of hand-harvested Saltwest Naturals seasonings for this recipe. Saltwest sources their salt right from Vancouver Island, BC. Here we use Saltwest Naturals Roasted Garlic & Onion Infused Sea Salt. That’s balanced against Saltwest Naturals Smokehouse Peppercorns. We find these spices both accent the Brussels sprouts flavours well. They bring a lovely extra burst that doesn’t come with regular salt and pepper.

What are the health benefits of Brussels sprouts?
Brussels sprouts are a “superfood” in the cruciferous family. They are high in Vitamin K, which helps bone health, and Vitamin C, which boosts the immune system. They also provide fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. These nutrients help reduce inflammation and improve heart health.
What is the best way to make Brussels sprouts crispy?
The best way to get crispy sprouts is to roast them at 400°F with the cut side down.
Why: The flat surface of the sprout caramelizes against the hot baking sheet. This creates a deep, nutty flavor and a crunchy texture.
Expert Tip: Do not overcrowd the pan. If the sprouts are too close, they will steam instead of roast.
How does balsamic glaze compare to balsamic vinegar?
Balsamic Glaze: This is a reduction of balsamic vinegar. It is thick, syrupy, and much sweeter. It sticks to the vegetables better.
Balsamic Vinegar: This is thin and very acidic. If you use regular vinegar, it will pool at the bottom of the pan rather than coating the sprouts.
What is the best way to store and reheat Brussels sprouts?
Store leftovers in a sealed container for 3 days.
Reheating: To keep them from getting mushy, reheat them in an air fryer or oven at 350°F. This brings back the crisp edges. Avoid the microwave, as it will make the sprouts soft and soggy.
