Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half
- 1/4 cup cannabis infused olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 small sprig fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place Brussels sprouts on a large baking sheet and toss with the cannabis infused oil.

Season to taste with salt and pepper and mix until sprouts are well coated.
- Roast until starting to brown and are tender with crisp centers (or completely tender if that is how you prefer them). Stir to mix once during the roasting time, which will be about 20 to 25 minutes.
- While sprouts are roasting, place balsamic in a small saucepan along with rosemary spring. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce by half. Remove rosemary spring and set aside.
- When sprouts are cooked, remove from oven and put in a large serving bowl. Drizzle reduced balsamic over spouts and toss to coat. Season with addition salt and pepper if needed. Serve.
