It’s the most wonderful time of the year! As the days are getting shorter and the weather is getting colder, I am craving all of the fall and winter flavors and getting more and more excited for the upcoming holiday season. And what’s more perfect for the holidays than a delicious roasted brussels sprouts dish? My favorite winter vegetable paired with the seasonal flavors of dried cranberries and toasted pecans and the most delicious Alessi Organic Balsamic Vinegar, does it get any better?
I love Alessi’s fresh, high-quality, and authentically Italian products. Their Organic Balsamic Vinegar and Himalayan Pink Salt and Black Peppercorn Grinders are just a few of my favorites. They also have delicious pastas, sauces, olive oils, and the list goes on and on. You can use the code STACY for 15% off your Alessi Foods order, AND orders over $20 ship free!
So let’s get to that brussels sprouts recipe, shall we?
Here’s What You’ll Need:
-32 oz brussels sprouts
-1/2 cup raw pecans
-1/4 cup dried cranberries
-4 pieces thick cut bacon
-2-3 tbsp Alessi Organic Balsamic Vinegar
-Alessi Himalayan Pink Salt, ground
-Alessi Black Peppercorns, ground
-2 tbsp avocado oil
Instructions:
De-stem and halve the brussels sprouts, toss with the avocado oil, Alessi Himalayan Pink Salt and Black Pepper, and spread out on a baking sheet.
Cut the bacon into pieces about 1” thick, and mix with the brussels sprouts.
Cook the brussels sprouts and bacon in a preheated 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until the brussels sprouts are slightly browned and crispy and the bacon is cooked.
In the meantime, toast the pecans in a pan on the stovetop over medium high heat for about 3-5 minutes. You'll start to smell them toasting and want to remove them before they start to burn.
Mix the toasted pecans and dried cranberries into the cooked brussels sprouts.
Drizzle the mixture with the Alessi Organic Balsamic Vinegar and season with some more Alessi Himalayan Pink Salt and Black Pepper.
Serve and enjoy!
Whether you’re whipping this up for Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, or Christmas, this one is sure to be a crowd pleaser! And if anyone is meat-free, you can easily skip the bacon! Trust me, it’s still delicious. My family is half vegans/vegetarians and half meat eaters, so I like to make half and half.
