    What's in Roasted Balsamic Keto Brussels Sprouts

    • Brussels Sprouts
    • Prosciutto
    • Olive oil
    • Balsamic vinegar
    • Salt & Pepper
    • Slivered almonds (optional)

    *Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

    How to Make Roasted Balsamic Brussels Sprouts

    You won't believe how easy this is to make!  Start by preheating your oven to 425F.

    The ends of Brussels have a woody texture that doesn't cook well so you'll slice off the ends of each Brussels sprout. Once you've done that, slice them in half long ways.

    Add them to a large mixing bowl.

    Then add in the prosciutto and the balsamic vinegar. Next, you'll drizzle the olive oil over the top and toss until well coated.

    Bake for 15-18 minutes, on the center rack in your oven, or until caramelized.

    If you'd like to add the almonds, toast them in a dry skillet for a few minutes, until slightly golden and fragrant. Sprinkle them over the top of the roasted Brussels sprouts.

    Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container.

    Can You Freeze Brussels Sprouts?

    If you have leftovers, you will probably wonder how to freeze brussels sprouts. It's actually very easy. Just put the leftover Keto Brussels sprouts in an airtight container that's just big enough to hold them. You don't want a lot of space left over in the container.

    You can also use a freezer safe bag, squeeze out all the air, date the bag of when they were frozen and place them in the freezer for up to a couple of months.

    Tips for How to Make Perfect Keto Roasted Brussels Sprouts 

    How to Choose Brussels Sprouts

    • Before cooking brussels sprouts, trim the woody ends, leaving the sprout itself in place.
    • When shopping for brussels sprouts, look for bright green leaves without any browning or yellowing.
    • The leaves should be tight and snug against one another.
      For a sweeter flavor, you should look for smaller sprouts as the larger they get, the more they take on a cabbage flavor.
    • Avoid packages of brussels sprouts that have moisture. Brussels sprouts that can not breathe will sweat and create moisture. The moisture will create mold.

    Best Cooking Methods for Brussels Sprouts

    There are several different ways you can prepare Brussels sprouts for a Keto diet.  Pan frying in bacon grease might be the most popular way and it gives them lots of flavor!  In fact, you can try these Stir Fried Brussels Sprouts with Bacon to get that that wonderful flavor!

    I prefer the sweetness that comes out when you roast them in the oven. They get nice and caramelized, especially when you add some balsamic vinegar. You can also shred them into ribbons and pay fry them that way.  

    Adding Flavor to Your Keto Brussels Sprouts Recipes

    I use diced prosciutto in this recipe to give the Brussels sprouts more flavor. If you don't have prosciutto, you can use diced pancetta or even bacon instead. Brussels are from the cabbage family but are slightly more bitter until cooked. Adding some sort of fatty and briny pork really helps to bring out the sweetness in Brussels.

    Toppings for Roasted Keto Brussels Sprouts

    If you want to omit the slivered almonds, you certainly can or you can substitute with chopped walnuts, pecans and pine nuts (pignoli).  Just be sure to toast them in a dry pan first, because it really brings out the flavor more!

    As a finishing touch and to make this side dish even more special, you can crumble some goat cheese over the top, right before serving.  It will add an extra creaminess with a slight tang.

    If you want more of an Italian flair, top the of your roasted Brussels with Parmesan shavings.
