  • Author: kitchenyumm
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

These Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts are roasted to crispy, golden perfection, then tossed in a sticky-sweet, tangy balsamic glaze that clings to every caramelized edge. They’re an easy, irresistible veggie side dish that turns simple sprouts into a total flavor celebration—perfect for weeknights, holidays, or anytime you want your vegetables to shine.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 1½ tbsp honey

  • Optional: 1 garlic clove, minced

  • Optional garnish: red pepper flakes, parmesan, flaky sea salt, or toasted nuts


Instructions

  • Prep the Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Season the Sprouts: In a bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread cut-side down on the baking sheet.

  • Roast: Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

  • Make the Glaze: While the sprouts roast, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, and garlic (if using) in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 4–5 minutes until slightly thickened.

 

  • Glaze & Serve: Transfer hot roasted sprouts to a mixing bowl. Drizzle with the honey balsamic glaze and toss to coat. Garnish and serve immediately!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the pan—use two sheets if needed.

  • You can prep the glaze up to 3 days in advance and refrigerate until needed.

  • Swap honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version.

  • Delicious served warm, but also great at room temp for potlucks!
