Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
Description
Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts involve trimming and halving 2 pounds of sprouts, then coating them with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper before roasting them cut side down at 450°F. The high heat encourages a charred exterior while keeping the interior tender. After roasting for 20 to 25 minutes until well charred, the sprouts are tossed with a mixture of balsamic vinegar and honey, coating each piece with a glossy, sweet-tart glaze.
The flavor profile combines the natural earthiness of Brussels sprouts with the bright acidity of balsamic vinegar and the mellow sweetness of honey. This texture contrast between crisp edges and soft centers, paired with the glaze, makes for a versatile side dish that complements many main dishes.
This recipe serves 4 to 6 and leftovers keep for up to five days, reheated or eaten cold. Smaller sprouts can be roasted whole, but larger ones should be halved for even cooking and better seasoning absorption.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts ends trimmed and halved
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450f and set rack to middle.
- Trim ends of Brussels sprouts and discard any tough outer leaves. Cut in half.
- Toss Brussels sprouts in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet cut side down.
- Roast Brussels sprouts for 20-25 minutes or until well charred.
- While roasting, use the same bowl and whisk balsamic vinegar with honey. Once Brussels sprouts are finished roasting toss them in the bowl to coat then plate. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use smaller Brussels sprouts whole for quicker roasting; halve larger ones for even cooking and better glaze absorption.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; enjoy them cold or reheated in the microwave or oven.
