  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts

  • 2 1/2 lb. Brussels sprouts
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
  • Black pepper, to taste

Honey Balsamic Sauce

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. red pepper chili flakes
  • 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter

Garnish

  • Green onions, sliced
  • Lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet. Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut each in half, removing any loose leaves to ensure even roasting.
  2. Toss Brussels with Oil and Seasoning: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and a pinch of black pepper until they're lightly and evenly coated.
  3. Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Arrange the Brussels sprouts cut side down on the prepared baking sheet(s), ensuring they aren’t crowded. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes without flipping, until they become tender and deeply golden brown.
  4. Prepare the Honey Balsamic Sauce: While the Brussels roast, heat the honey in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Add Remaining Sauce Ingredients: Stir in the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, red pepper chili flakes, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Return the pan to medium-low heat.
  6. Finish the Glaze: Add the unsalted butter to the sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  7. Combine and Serve: Spoon the thickened honey balsamic glaze over the roasted Brussels sprouts and toss to coat evenly, or serve the sauce alongside. Garnish with fresh green onions and lemon zest for a bright finishing touch.

Notes

  • Roasting the loose Brussels sprout leaves separately makes for a crispy, tasty snack.
  • If Brussels sprouts are crowded on one baking sheet, use two to ensure even roasting.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your heat preference.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
