Caramelized Brussels Sprouts are loaded with flavor thanks to the carmelized onions and toasted pecans. You will want to add this to your holiday menu.

Caramelized Brussel Sprouts

Sometimes I just want to ask, “Brussels Sprouts, where have you been all my life?”  I am a late bloomer as far as brussels sprouts are concerned and can honestly say I first tasted them a few years ago.  I’ve had fun experimenting and cooking with them ever since.  This caramelized brussles sprouts recipe is the result of that experimenting.

They are going to be the newest addition to our Thanksgiving menu this year replacing the traditional green beans.   We’ll see what the kids say although it was one of my children (the one that never ate anything green as a child) who suggested we have Brussels sprouts for Thanksgiving this year!

  • Brussels Sprouts

    I made this recipe yesterday and I am confused as the ingredients call for 1/3 cup butter but I have read and reread the instructions and I can’t see where it is used. I’m wondering if that’s why I didn’t feel that they really carmelized. Is there a correction to the recipe that i missed? The people eating them didn’t seem to notice.

    In the recipe the red wine vinegar says “divided” but I don’t see it being added in two places. Did I miss something ?

      Shelby, Not sure why it says that, but I fixed it. Thanks, the vinegar is not divided
