Tons of people have PTSD from eating brussels sprouts as kids (Mom, relax, I’m obviously talking about a friend). Settle down, this isn’t the kind you’d ever try to pass on to the family dog. I turned a new leaf and can eat this entire pan myself, it’s that good.
By glazing the sprouts with honey and balsamic, you cut any bitterness from the vegetables. Plus we’re using FROZEN brussels sprouts here, because I’m always ready to make delicious and easy food. If that doesn’t convince you, I don’t know what will.
