- Spread the Brussels sprouts out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Cooking

Notes
To ensure crispy Brussels sprouts, avoid overcrowding on the baking sheet. Adjust the acidity by substituting balsamic vinegar with apple cider vinegar if desired. They can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to three days.
