Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoons Honey
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown, and the sprouts are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 6

While the sprouts roast, prepare the balsamic glaze by combining balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 7

Bring the glaze to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 8

Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them to a serving bowl and drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the top. Toss to coat.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
