Grilled Balsamic Brussels Sprouts

Directions:

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Brussel sprouts:
Remove any yellowing outer leaves. Place the Brussels sprouts into a large, microwave safe mixing bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 3 minutes.

Add the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and toss to combine.

Skewer Brussels sprouts onto each metal skewer with the stem ends facing in the same direction.

Place the skewers on the grill; cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Turn the skewers over and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.

Remove from grill and place on platter.

Balsamic glaze:
In a medium saucepan, mix balsamic vinegar with brown sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

After sugar has dissolved, reduce heat to low and simmer until glaze is reduced by half, about 20 to 25 minutes. The glaze should coat the back of a spoon.

Let cool and drizzle 2 tablespoons of glaze over prepared Brussel sprouts.
