Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts, ensuring a perfectly crispy texture.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends and cut the Brussels sprouts in half. Toss them thoroughly with olive oil, salt, and black pepper so they are evenly coated for roasting.
- Roast Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Make the Honey Balsamic Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar until well combined and smooth.
- Toss Sprouts with Glaze: Place the roasted Brussels sprouts in a large bowl and drizzle the honey balsamic mixture over them. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat every sprout with the glaze.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm as a flavorful side dish that complements a variety of mains.
Notes
- You can add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy kick.
- For extra crispiness, broil the sprouts for 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet to maintain their crisp texture.
- Use fresh honey and good-quality balsamic vinegar for the best flavor.
