The Method

1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F).
2
In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3
Place the Brussels sprouts on the preheated grill, cut-side down. Grill for 8-10 minutes, or until they are nicely charred and slightly tender.
4
Flip the Brussels sprouts and continue grilling for another 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and cooked through.
5
While the Brussels sprouts are grilling, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and maple syrup (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
6
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly. Be careful not to burn it.
7
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the grill and transfer them to a serving dish.
8
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the grilled Brussels sprouts. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

For even grilling, use a grill basket or foil with holes poked in it to prevent the Brussels sprouts from falling through the grates.

Adjust the grilling time based on the size of your Brussels sprouts. Smaller ones will cook faster.

You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the balsamic glaze for a little heat.

If you don't have maple syrup, you can use honey or brown sugar as a sweetener for the glaze.

To avoid flare-ups on the grill, make sure the Brussels sprouts are coated evenly with oil.

"The peppery watercress and crisp apple offer a refreshing contrast to the slightly bitter and caramelized Brussels sprouts. The bright, citrusy lemon-dill dressing complements the balsamic glaze without overpowering the palate, keeping the meal light and fresh."
