My go-to is cutting the sprouts in half (except for smaller ones if they're the size of a larger split one) and tossing them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and put into the oven on a sheet pan at 375 F for about 20 minutes, then flip over and cook 5 more minutes with a splash of balsamic on them. If i forget to put the timer on they get a little too crispy on the outer leaves, but the missus loves those and eats them like potato chips so it's a win-win either way.
I made the mistake of trying a super good balsamic that I could literally drink in a tumbler if I wanted, and now I'm ordering 2 bottles at a time every few months. I'm really worried I am going to try a good fancy-lad red wine vinegar or cider vinegar and not be able to buy the cheap stuff off the shelf at the Jewel anymore.

222Ah man.. there's an oil & vinegar store I haven't been to since pandemic times, but yeah.. you used to be able to sample them on the spot and some of those balsamic vinegars are obscenely good. They're also like $18 for a thin bottle that lasts maybe a month..Jimbo wrote: I made the mistake of trying a super good balsamic that I could literally drink in a tumbler if I wanted, and now I'm ordering 2 bottles at a time every few months.

That said, I stick to simple sprouts, just charred and salted.

Once the whole house smells like roasted sprouts, they come out and get a dash of parmesan.

227That is a damned fine call, especially if finished with parm and a pinch of chili flake

228Speaking of guanciale, has anyone ever made Pasta Alla Zozzona?

Possibly one of the most complexly flavorful and satisfying things I’ve ever made. True magic coming from a rather simple, yet rich list of ingredients.
