Ingredients
•
5
cups
Brussels Sprouts
, halved
•
1/2
cup
Pancetta
•
4
Tbsp
Olive Oil
•
1/2
tsp
Kosher Salt
•
1/2
tsp
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
•
1
Tbsp
Balsamic Vinegar
or 1/2 cup standard, store-bought balsamic
Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2.
Place the Brussels Sprouts (5 cups) on a baking sheet, including any of the loose leaves. Cut the Pancetta (1/2 cup) into 1/2-inch dices and add to the pan. Add the Olive Oil (4 Tbsp), the Kosher Salt (1/2 tsp) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1/2 tsp) and toss with your hands. Spread out the mixture in a single layer.
3.
Roast the brussels sprouts until they’re tender and nicely browned and the pancetta is cooked, 20 to 30 minutes, tossing once at the 20-minute mark.
4.
Meanwhile, place Balsamic Vinegar (1 Tbsp) in a small saucepan or frying pan and simmer gently until it is reduced by half and looking syrupy — be careful here! Err on the side of under reducing — once the balsamic starts thickening, it can burn quickly. At the first sign of the balsamic getting too thick or dark, transfer it to a small bowl.
5.
Remove pan from the oven, drizzle immediately with the balsamic vinegar and toss again. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
