Ina Garten’s Brussel Sprouts with Pancetta is a roasted vegetable dish that combines halved Brussels sprouts with diced pancetta, olive oil, and a hint of balsamic vinegar. The sprouts become beautifully golden and slightly crisp on the outside, while the pancetta adds a salty crunch that pairs perfectly with the balsamic glaze.
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half
4 ounces pancetta, diced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment or foil.
Prepare the sprouts – Trim the ends off each Brussels sprout and slice them in half.
Toss with seasoning – In a large bowl, mix Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Add pancetta – Spread the sprouts on the baking sheet in a single layer and scatter diced pancetta over them.
Roast until golden – Place in the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the sprouts are browned and the pancetta is crispy.
Finish with balsamic – Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic vinegar while still hot. Toss gently and serve warm.
