Description
Crispy, caramelized Brussels sprouts tossed in a sweet balsamic honey glaze—an easy, festive side dish perfect for Christmas dinner.
Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts
3 tbsp olive oil
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
2 tsp honey
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil or a silicone mat.
2. Trim sprouts, remove dry leaves, cut off bottoms, and slice in half.
3. Toss sprouts in a bowl with oil, salt, and pepper.
4. Spread on sheet, cut side down, and roast until tender and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
5. Return to bowl, add balsamic vinegar and honey, toss to coat, season to taste, and serve.
6. For frozen sprouts, thaw, pat dry, and roast as above until golden and crispy.
Notes
Choose small, bright green sprouts with tightly packed leaves.
Overcrowding on the pan causes steaming instead of roasting.
Placing sprouts cut side down helps them soften inside and caramelize outside.
Leftovers keep in the fridge up to 5 days in an airtight container and reheat best in the oven at 350–375°F until warmed through.
