Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey

Equipment

  • 1 Large Baking Sheet
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash, trim, and halve the Brussels sprouts.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet, preferably cut-side down.
  3. Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and deeply caramelized with crispy edges.
  4. While the sprouts roast, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small bowl.
  5. Remove sprouts from the oven, return to the large bowl, and pour the glaze over them. Toss to coat evenly and serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: Ensure Brussels sprouts are completely dry before tossing with oil to achieve maximum crispiness.
Tip 2: Do not crowd the pan! Use two baking sheets if necessary to ensure the sprouts roast instead of steam.
Tip 3: For extra flavor, add a clove of minced garlic when seasoning the sprouts before roasting.
