Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1½ tablespoons honey
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 small garlic clove (minced), red pepper flakes

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts, then pat completely dry.
  3. Toss sprouts in olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange cut-side down on baking sheet in a single layer. Roast 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. While roasting, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon in a small saucepan. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened; stir in garlic if using.
  6. Toss roasted sprouts in the warm glaze until evenly coated.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with red pepper flakes or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For extra crispiness, dry sprouts thoroughly before roasting and avoid overcrowding the pan. Add glaze only after roasting to prevent burning. Perfect for holidays or everyday dinners.
