Grilled Brussels Sprouts Skewers with a Balsamic Glaze. Perfectly charred on the edges and make for the perfect side to grilled steaks, pork or chicken.

When you think of grilled vegetables, corn, eggplant, peppers and zucchini usually come to mind. But did you know you can make brussels sprouts on the grill too? They come out perfectly charred on the edges and make the perfect side to grilled steaks, pork or chicken.

Other ways I like to make brussels sprouts as a side is roasted on a sheet pan with butternut squash. I also love buffalo brussels sprouts with crumbled blue cheese.

My friend Tara introduced me to making Brussels on the grill. She had us over for dinner one night and her husband had steaks grilling along with corn and these Brussels! I added some Balsamic Glaze to because I love the combination.

These skewered brussel sprouts are perfect for your next BBQ. They’re so easy to make and can be prepped ahead of time so they’re ready to just throw on the grill. Just slice into thick pieces so they can hold to the skewer, cover the grill with tin foil, and place the skewers on top. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and cook for 30 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to prevent burning. Top with balsamic glaze and done! That easy.

Enjoy!

  1. Love char on these grilled brussel sprouts. (one of my favorite) Use of balsamic glaze is such a clever idea. Delish!

  2. I have never had brussels sprouts before and my husband loves them. They were great even though my husband left them on the grill to long…whoops..we still ate them and loved them. Recommendation: use sharp metal skewers, I tried to different sizes of wooden skewers and boy is that difficult to thread. Question: how do you select good brussels sprouts?

  3. I don’t think this recipe is whole30 friendly. The balsamic glaze you use contained sulfites and other whole30 no no’s…

  4. I have fallen for Brussels… hard! I usually roast mine, and then add almonds, dried cranberries, and balsamic glaze. So wonderful. The hubs is not a fan, just means more for me!

  5. Recipe states to cut sprouts in half but picture shows they are in thin slices.  Which is it?  Especially since 30 minutes could do a job on slices

  6. OH MY! I am not a Brussels Sprouts fan, but you may have just converted me.  I tried these, and they were amazing!  Thank you!

  7. Never mind! I see your response to someone else’s question and the foil is both on top and beneath the skewers!  Thanks!

  8. I just want to double-check… your instructions are to take the skewers and put them on the foil and drizzle them with the oil and spices.  Then, you take the skewers off of the foil and put them directly on the grill.  You then tent the skewers with the same piece of foil right?  I apologize for asking a dumb question.

  9. Hi Gina,

    This looks fantastic, but my first thought was, won’t the brussel sprouts fall apart immediately cutting them so thin? I picture, especially the ends, falling into loose leaves- is there a special way to slice them to avoid this? Thanks!

      1. The picture looks like the Brussel sprouts have been sliced thin and not halved.   I sliced them to look like the picture and did lose quite a few of the outer leaves.  Still good results.  I just save the leaves for a salad.   

  10. What brand of glaze do you buy, I know you can make it but I typically don’t have good luck doing that.
    I was also confused on the foil, I assume you put foil down with Brussels and pull up over them but keep loose so the steam can escape.

    1. I use Delallo. Correct, I cover loosely so some of the steam helps soften them but since I turn every 5 minutes I don’t seal the foil.

  11. I first steam them in the microwave (think parboil) to give them a head start plus easier to slice. Then finish them off on the grill or hot oven (425) to get that grilled/roasted flavor in half the time. Yum. 

  12. i am over in the UK and am at weight watchers but really love to cook and absolutely love recipes thank you very much for your hard work big UK fan (literally lol)

    1. put some balsamic and a little bit of brown sugar in a small saucepan
      bring to a boil then keep at a simmer until it has reduced by half
      put it in a squeeze bottle and store in the fridge – lasts forever
