Balsamic-Roasted Brussels Sprouts






• 1 1/2 lbs. Brussels sprouts, cut in half
• 4 oz. pancetta, 1/4-inch-diced
• 1/4 cup good olive oil
• ½ cup dried cherries (optional)






• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp. syrupy balsamic vinegar
Preheat the oven to 400o F.
Place the Brussels sprouts on a sheet pan, including some of the loose leaves, which get crispy when they’re roasted. Add the pancetta, olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, toss with your hands, and spread out in a single layer. Roast the Brussels sprouts for 20 to 30 minutes, until they’re tender and nicely browned and the pancetta is cooked. (Add dried cherries halfway through roasting) Toss once during roasting.
Remove from the oven, drizzle immediately with the balsamic vinegar, and toss again. Taste for seasonings. Serve hot.
