Grilled Brussels sprouts are a fantastic way to enjoy this hearty vegetable with a delicious char and crisp edges. After halving and cleaning the sprouts, they’re tossed in olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and placed on a preheated grill. The sprouts are grilled until they’re caramelized and tender, often enhanced with a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice for a tangy finish. This dish not only makes a healthy side that pairs beautifully with various proteins, but it also adds a smoky depth to the Brussels sprouts’ natural flavors.
