Recipe View 3 mins Balsamic Glaze: In the same skillet, mix in the balsamic vinegar, butter, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly with the balsamic glaze. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and cling to the sprouts. (Time: 2-3 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular butter.
If you don't have fresh garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic granules can be substituted.
To add a little heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes works really well.
