Caramelized, tender Brussels sprouts with crispy edges, kissed by the perfect balance of sweet honey and zesty balsamic vinegar. A quick and easy side dish perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim off the stems and cut each sprout in half lengthwise. Quarter large sprouts for even cooking.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic until well combined.
  4. Place the trimmed Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Pour the glaze over the sprouts and toss to coat them evenly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spread the Brussels sprouts out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure they aren’t overcrowded for even roasting.
  6. Roast for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, take the tray out and flip the sprouts using tongs. Roast for another 10 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
  7. Transfer the sprouts to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
