Balsamic Brussel Sprouts
Description
This recipe trims and halves fresh Brussels sprouts before coating them thoroughly with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. The use of balsamic vinegar combined with honey creates a glaze that lightly caramelizes during high-heat roasting at 450°F. Stirring once halfway through ensures even cooking and browning.
The result is sprouts that are soft on the inside but have golden, crisped edges with a complex sweet and tangy flavor profile. The garlic adds aroma and depth, while salt and pepper season throughout. These sprouts balance natural bitterness with roasted sweetness.
They are served warm as a side dish and would pair well with roasted meats or other hearty mains. The straightforward preparation emphasizes texture and vibrant flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts ends trimmed, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450˚F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place the brussel sprouts directly on the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil, balsamic, honey, garlic, salt and pepper and toss with your hands until well combined.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts into an even layer. Bake for 25 minutes, stirring the sprouts halfway through cooking time, or until golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm.
