Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 units Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the Brussels sprouts under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Trim the ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves.

Step 3

Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise. If some are particularly large, you can quarter them to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, olive oil, minced garlic (using a garlic press or finely chopping the garlic cloves), salt, and black pepper. If you like a bit of heat, add the red pepper flakes.

Step 5

Toss everything together until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated, then spread them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden-brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 7

While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, mix the honey and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl to create the glaze.

Step 8

After roasting for 20 minutes, drizzle the honey-balsamic glaze over the Brussels sprouts and toss them gently on the baking sheet to coat. Return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Step 10

Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or enjoy them on their own as a healthy snack!
