Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut the larger sprouts in half to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss to ensure the sprouts are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for optimal caramelization.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender on the inside and golden brown with crispy edges on the outside. Stir or flip halfway through to promote even cooking.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey (or maple syrup).

Step 7

Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle the balsamic mixture over the hot sprouts. Toss gently to coat evenly.

Step 8

Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful balsamic Brussels sprouts as a side to any meal!
