Ingredients
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 lb. Brussels sprouts
- 2 tsp. sea salt or to taste
- 12 tsp. fresh ground pepper
- 2 tbsp. balsamic glaze Balsamic glaze is considered Paleo if homemade, not store bought. Try Robyn’s balsamic glaze recipe below for a healthy and less expensive alternative to store-bought glaze
- 1 container about 3.5 oz of crumbled goat cheese (Leave the crumbles off to keep it Paleo)
Balsamic Glaze
- 2 cups balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to boil and add the Brussels sprouts, letting them boil for about 5 minutes. Be careful to not overcook them.
- While the water boils, prepare an ice bath by adding ice to a large bowl of cold water.
- Remove the sprouts from the boiling water and add them to ice water to stop them from cooking.
- Skewer the sprouts using bamboo skewers.
- Heat a grill to medium-high direct heat, about 400 degrees.
- Grill the Brussels sprouts until nice char marks have formed and the edges have caramelized.
- Remove the sprouts from the grill and finish them with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Balsamic glaze:
- In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar and honey to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Then reduce to a simmer and let cook for about 30 to 45 minutes until the vinegar has reduced and easily coats the back of a spoon.
Notes
PRO TIP: Remember, always prep your grill grates to avoid sticking with high-heat oils. Avocado oil is a great choice.
