We eat a ton of discount vegetables in our home thanks to the deep discounts in our local grocer’s produce section each week. My eyes are light lasers zeroing in on the bright orange stickers.

$1.99 for a bag of Brussels sprouts? Into the cart! You should see my level of stalking excitement when I witness the produce manager stamping sale stickers on packages portobellos or fresh herbs.

Because I often buy so many veggies, I try to cook them up different ways: grilled, roasted, sautéed, and raw. Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Turkey Bacon and Balsamic are like little savory cabbages caramelized in savory, tangy flavor. Grab a baking sheet and get to roastin’!
