Balsamic Glazed Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Description
This recipe uses fresh Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved lengthwise, then tossed in olive oil, salt, and black pepper to coat evenly. Roasting at 425°F caramelizes the edges and softens the interior over about 20 minutes. After roasting, the sprouts are returned to a bowl and coated with a mixture of balsamic vinegar and honey, which adds a subtle sweetness and tang that contrasts with the savory roasted flavors.
The texture is crisp outside with a tender bite inside, enhanced by the glaze that gives a lightly sticky and shiny surface. The balsamic and honey combine to balance the natural bitterness of the Brussels sprouts, making them more approachable while preserving their inherent vegetal notes.
This dish pairs well with roasted meats, grilled proteins, or grain-based mains. The glaze can be adjusted to taste and the sprouts roasted longer for additional crispness. Frozen Brussels sprouts should be thoroughly thawed and patted dry before roasting to avoid excess moisture and ensure caramelization.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts See Note 1
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar (or balsamic glaze)
- 2 tsp honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or use a Silpat silicone baking mat.
- Trim off the outer, dry leaves, cut the bottom off and slice sprouts lengthwise.
- In a large bowl, toss brussels sprouts with olive oil, kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to coat thoroughly.
- Transfer veggies to prepared baking sheet and roast until tender and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
- Place roasted brussel sprouts back in bowl. Add balsamic vinegar and honey and toss to coat evenly. Taste and season with kosher salt if necessary and serve.
Notes
- If using frozen Brussels sprouts, thaw completely and shake off excess water before roasting to ensure they brown properly.
- Adjust roasting time to achieve desired crispness and caramelization.
