Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut side down for better caramelization.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until browned and crispy on the edges, stirring once halfway through.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic vinegar and honey (if using). Toss to coat evenly.
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- You can add garlic or red pepper flakes for additional flavor.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version.
