Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts (Printable Recipe)

Crispy Brussels sprouts glazed with a sweet and tangy honey balsamic blend.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
04 - 2 tbsp honey
05 - 1/2 tsp salt
06 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
07 - 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure proper caramelization of the Brussels sprouts.
02 - Trim ends and halve each Brussels sprout. Arrange them cut-side down on a baking sheet in a single layer.
03 - Drizzle Brussels sprouts with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss to coat evenly. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through.
04 - While sprouts roast, mix honey, balsamic vinegar, and optional minced garlic in a small bowl.
05 - Remove Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle with the honey balsamic mixture. Toss gently to coat all pieces.
06 - Return glazed sprouts to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes to slightly caramelize the glaze.
07 - Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot. Optionally garnish with toasted nuts, Parmesan, or a drizzle of extra honey.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Use fresh, firm Brussels sprouts for best texture and flavor.
02 - Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting and browning.
03 - Adjust glaze sweetness and acidity to taste before serving.
