Honey Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Description
Honey Roasted Brussels Sprouts feature halved sprouts coated in olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper before roasting at a high temperature. After an initial bake, a blend of melted butter and sugar-free honey is tossed with the Brussels sprouts, then they return to the oven to caramelize, creating a glossy coating. The smoky spice from paprika and gentle heat from optional red pepper flakes complement the crisp edges and soft centers of the sprouts.
The roasting method with proper drying ensures a crispy texture without sogginess. This vegetable side pairs well with roasted meats or other mains that benefit from a lightly sweet and smoky vegetable component. The recipe avoids added sugars by using keto honey but maintains sweetness through caramelization.
By spreading the sprouts evenly on baking sheets and turning them appropriately, each piece cooks evenly with concentrated flavor on the surface. The timing allows for well-cooked interiors and rich glaze layering without burning. The use of simple pantry ingredients highlights the sprouts' natural character enhanced through roasting and seasoning.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons Keto honey sugar-free
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Wash, dry and slice your Brussels sprouts in half, then add them to a mixing bowl. Make sure they are well dried using paper towels otherwise they won’t crisp up in the oven.
- Drizzle them with the olive oil, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Spread out the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes.
- During the last 5 minutes of roasting, add the honey and butter to a small microwave safe bowl and heat just until both are melted and warm, then whisk to combine.
- Remove them from the oven, pour them back into the original mixing bowl and pour the honey butter over the top. Toss to combine, making sure each piece is coated.
- Pour them back onto the baking sheet and bake for another 10 minutes or until slightly caramelized and cooked through. Sprinkle some of the (optional) red pepper flakes over the tops and serve.
