Ingredients

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup crispy turkey bacon bits
• 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

Instructions

1. Preheat your sous vide water bath to 185°F (85°C).
2. In a bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a vacuum-seal bag or a zip-lock bag using the water displacement method to remove air. Seal the bag.
4. Submerge the bag in the preheated water bath and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
5. While the Brussels sprouts are cooking, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture reduces and thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
6. Once the Brussels sprouts are done, remove them from the bag and pat them dry with paper towels.
7. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and sauté until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
8. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat evenly.
9. Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with crispy turkey bacon bits and pomegranate seeds for a touch of elegance and color.

Helpful Tips

To save time, you can prepare the balsamic glaze in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Simply reheat before using.
For an extra layer of flavor, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or crushed red pepper flakes before serving.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to retain their crispiness.

Pairings

These Brussels sprouts pair wonderfully with roasted chicken or a tender steak. Serve alongside a light salad with lemon vinaigrette and a glass of sparkling water or a light red wine for a complete meal.
