Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with olive oil.

Step 2

Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Trim the ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice the sprouts in half lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved 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. This ensures better caramelization.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and have golden crispy edges. Stir or flip them halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, finely mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 7

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey until smooth. Set this glaze aside.

Step 8

Once the Brussels sprouts are finished roasting, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the minced garlic over the hot Brussels sprouts. The residual heat will mellow the garlic flavor.

Step 9

Drizzle the balsamic-honey glaze over the Brussels sprouts and gently toss them to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 10

Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
