Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Small saucepan
- Large mixing bowl
- Tongs or spatula (for tossing Brussels sprouts)
Ingredients
- 1 lb 450g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder optional, for extra flavor
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Cut the ends off the Brussels sprouts and pluck off any bruised leaves. Now, halving the Brussels sprouts will make sure that they all cook evenly.
- Season Brussels Sprouts: Add the halved Brussels sprouts to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if you are using. Step 4: Toss Brussels sprouts well and make sure they are evenly coated.
- Roast Brussels Sprouts: Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place in a preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Make the glaze: While the Brussels sprouts roast, make the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey. Cook over medium-low and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes or until the glaze thickens just slightly.
- Toss with Glaze: When the Brussels sprouts are roasted and crispy, take them out of the oven. Drizzle balsamic glaze over Brussels sprouts and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Serve: Transfer the glazed Brussels sprouts to a serving platter. Sprinkle-grated Parmesan cheese over the top, if desired.
