Ingredients
🥬 Brussels Sprouts:
1 ½ lbs (680g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
🍯 Balsamic Glaze:
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
Optional Add-ins:
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2–3 slices crispy bacon, crumbled
Crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread Brussels sprouts cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
5. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey (or maple syrup). Simmer for 4–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Drizzle warm balsamic glaze over roasted Brussels sprouts. Add optional Parmesan or bacon before serving.
Notes
✨ For extra crispiness, make sure the Brussels sprouts are dry before roasting.
🧂 Adjust seasoning to taste; a pinch of red pepper flakes adds a nice kick.
🕒 This side can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in the oven.
🌿 Perfect for pairing with roasted meats or as part of a vegetarian holiday platter.
