A delicious and easy recipe for Crispy Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts, roasted to golden perfection and tossed in a sweet and tangy honey balsamic glaze. This dish combines crisp Brussels sprouts with a flavorful, slightly sticky coating, making it a perfect side for any meal or a tasty snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1½ tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely minced (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a hot environment for roasting the Brussels sprouts to a crispy texture.
  2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends and halve the Brussels sprouts. Pat them completely dry to ensure they roast up crispy rather than steaming in the oven.
  3. Toss with Oil and Seasoning: In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the sprouts cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them for even roasting.
  5. Roast Until Golden: Roast in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until the sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  6. Prepare the Glaze: While the sprouts roast, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until the mixture slightly thickens. Stir in the minced garlic if using.
  7. Toss Sprouts with Glaze: Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, immediately toss them with the warm honey balsamic glaze to coat thoroughly.
  8. Serve: Serve the glazed Brussels sprouts hot, optionally sprinkled with red pepper flakes for a mild heat and extra visual appeal.

Notes

  • Patting the Brussels sprouts dry is key to achieving crispy roasted edges.
  • The Dijon mustard and garlic in the glaze add depth but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • This dish pairs well with chicken, pork, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
