Ingredients:

- 3 pounds fresh Brussel sprouts, washed and cut in half, length-wise

Toss the cut Brussel sprouts in the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread them on baking sheets and roast till golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the sprouts.

Drizzle the reduced balsamic vinegar syrup over the roasted Brussel sprouts; then sprinkle with the cranberries.
