I made these tonight. I only had about 3-4 cups of sprouts and they were huge, so I quartered them. I put the sprouts, slivered red onion, slivered shallot, only 1 tbsp. olive oil, kosher salt, fresh pepper and 1/2 tsp. sugar in a big zip lock to toss. It was delightfully delicious! The white balsamic finishes the dish with just the right amount of freshness. Sometimes I don't like the heavy taste of Brussels Sprouts, but this cooking method provided a light fresh and easy side dish.

This just might be my new favorite way to make brussels sprouts! I also loved the idea of using tin foil - easy clean up and no more roasted brussels sprout shaped stains on my pans.

We like roasted veggies, but brussels sprouts have always been a hard sell in my family. I enjoyed this very much. I used 4 cups sprouts and kept the remaining indredients the same. The balsamic vinegar was a nice touch. The rest of my family, well it may be too much to ask for them to love brussels sprouts, but I'll keep trying.

The smell of this cooking was super! I did add about 5 strips of bacon, torn and partly pan cooked. Tossed the onions in with the bacon for a bit then tossed it all in the roaster pan with the sprouts. Made for Canadian Thanksgiving.

I love brussel sprouts, and I love red onions....what was not to love about this recipe? The wonderful taste of the roasted vegetables was fabulous. I might add a little more salt, but otherwise, I wouldn't change anything. Made for Zaar 123 Hit Wonders Tag! Thanks so much for posting.
