Balsamic Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Grapes & Figs

 I thought I would try this new Brussel sprouts recipe for our Go Figgy Bon Appetit.  I thought it was good but my husband  isn't a Brussels fan so it wasn't a favorite part of the meal.  I had never roasted grapes before and we really liked those.

2. Toss the Brussels sprouts, grapes and figs with the olive oil and lay on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with thyme leaves, salt and pepper.
3. Roast for about 30-35 minutes, turning the Brussels sprouts at least once to evenly roast.
