Cross Brussels sprouts off your list of gross veggies you’ll never eat again; this recipe will definitely redeem them! And it’s super easy to make, at that. Simply toss your Brussels and shallots with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, the juice and zest of an orange, and salt and pepper and toss them in the oven.

Pro tip: If your Brussels are large, cut them in half. If some are large and some small, cut the large ones in half to make them all about the same size. If they’re very small, like a quarter, don’t worry about cutting them at all.
