Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts evenly and achieve a crispy texture.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly to coat the sprouts evenly with the flavorful mixture.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then spread the coated Brussels sprouts out in a single layer to ensure they roast evenly without steaming.
- Roast the Sprouts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the Brussels sprouts for 20-25 minutes, tossing them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Add Extra Balsamic: During the last five minutes of roasting, drizzle additional balsamic vinegar over the Brussels sprouts to enhance their depth of flavor and add a glossy finish.
- Serve: Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and serve hot. Optionally drizzle more honey on top for extra sweetness before enjoying this delicious side dish.
Notes
- Make sure to cut the Brussels sprouts evenly for uniform cooking.
- Tossing halfway through roasting helps in achieving even crispiness.
- Additional balsamic vinegar enhances the flavor, do not skip this step.
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Can be served as a side dish with meats or vegetarian meals.
