Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, combine the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to ensure even cooking and easy cleanup.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing the Brussels sprouts halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Enhance Flavor: During the last five minutes of roasting, drizzle additional balsamic vinegar over the Brussels sprouts to deepen the flavor and add a tangy glaze.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve hot. Optionally, drizzle more honey over the top to add extra sweetness before serving.
Notes
- Make sure Brussels sprouts are halved evenly for uniform cooking.
- Tossing the sprouts halfway through roasting ensures even caramelization.
- Adjust honey to taste if a sweeter dish is desired.
- Paring down the salt is recommended if using salted balsamic vinegar.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and facilitate easier cleanup.
