Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • optional sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water, trim off the stems, and cut them in half lengthwise.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until well-coated.
Roasting
  1. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  2. Roast them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and tender, giving them a toss halfway through.
Making the Balsamic Glaze
  1. While the sprouts are roasting, mix balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Allow it to simmer, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Combining and Serving
  1. Once the Brussels sprouts are beautifully roasted, remove them from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top.
  2. Toss gently to coat and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
  3. Serve immediately.

Notes

Roasting is key to achieving the best texture. Try adding minced garlic to the olive oil or crushed red pepper flakes for a kick.
