  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4–6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, water, Dijon mustard, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add Brussels sprouts and shallot, tossing to coat. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  3. Spread Brussels sprout mixture on the sheet pan with cut side down. Sprinkle additional brown sugar on top.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes until sprouts are tender and lightly charred, flipping halfway if desired.

Notes

  • Use pre-prepared sprouts to save prep time.
  • Preheat the baking sheet for maximum caramelization.
  • Place sprouts cut-side down to enhance browning.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming; give sprouts space for air circulation.
