Roasted Balsamic + Garlic Brussels Sprouts

•1.5lb brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (buying these precut can save you a lot of time, and will cost a little more for the convenience)
•1/4 cup olive oil
•2 garlic cloves, minced (I like having pre-minced refrigerated garlic on hand)
•salt and pepper to taste
•1-1.5 Tablespoon fig balsamic (plain balsamic is okay too, but the fig gives a beautiful sweet taste)

• Preheat the oven to 400F. On a lined sheet pan, place the brussels sprouts. Add the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and toss with your hands, and spread out with the flat sides down in a single layer.

• Roast for 20-30 minutes until tender, tossing once while roasting. Remove from the oven and drizzle with vinegar.
