Balsamic Fig Brussel Sprouts

This is my favorite way to cook sprouts! I was not raised eating sprouts, so I had to figure out a way to cook them that I liked. And this is what I figured out! I went to a restaurant and they had a crispy vinegary apricot sprout dish that I loved! I love balsamic with fig so I decided to try that!

It's really important that you have your oven HOT AS HELL to get it nice and crispy. It's also important that you don't put the glaze on too early or it will burn and be absolute shit. Ask me how I know...

Ingredients:

brussel sprouts, halved

olive oil

salt and pepper

3 tbsp balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp fig jelly

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450F

Toss the sprouts in 1 tbsp olive oil and s&p to taste.

Spread out on a sheet pan. If you have any leaves that fell off, keep them! They crisp up beautifully! Cook for 15 minutes.

While that cooks, mix up your sauce. put balsamic vinegar, fig jelly, 1 tsp olive oil, and 1-2 tsp water in the same bowl you tossed your sprouts in. Whisk/ stir thoroughly to break up the jelly.

After the 15 mins, pour sauce over the sprouts, toss to coat, then return to the oven to cook for 5 more minutes.

Serve while hot!

When you finally answered every message and email you have been stressing about for a week.

(Was looking for an idyllic kind of "I'm free" gif but tumblr gave me this and I'm fully endorsing it.)

Sweet Potato & Baked Beans

This really isn't fancy, this is just a pairing that I think is really good, it works for any meal (I love it for breakfast, but it's also good at dinner!), and it's high fiber and a good source of protein!

Chop a thoroughly washed potato into 1/2 inch cubes. Dump it into a microwave safe bowl, add a splash of water, a drizzle of olive oil, salt & pepper. Toss to combine. Cover with an upside down plate, microwave for 2-2.5 minutes then stir. Repeat the time. This par cooks the potato, making it way easier to brown but not burn while having it cooked all the way through. (It's also just faster!)

Drizzle more oil into a pan, drop your sweet potatoes in. Since they're mostly cooked through, it doesn't take long, we're really just adding color and flavor. So crank that bad boy to high, medium high if you're nervous.

While those cook, I just heat some canned baked beans in the microwave.

If you want this for breakfast, it's also so decadent with a fried egg, just fry it in the same pan as the potatoes. Add the potatoes first, then drop the temp a little when you add the eggs.

I DO WANT TO SPECIFY, I MEAN AMERICAN STYLE BAKED BEANS, NOT TOMATO BASED BRITISH BAKED BEANS. Say thank you to Indigenous Americans!!! Sweet potatoes? Native to the Americas. Beans? Native to the Americas. We have writings from colonists about Native Americans cooking baked beans in a maple sauce, so thank them also for this specific flavoring.
