Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts: Remove any yellowing or damaged outer leaves, trim the ends, and slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are cut side down to promote caramelization.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the pan and stir the sprouts to promote even cooking.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and red chili flakes (if using). This will be your glaze.
Step 7
Pour the glaze over the Brussels sprouts and toss gently to coat evenly.
Step 8
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are caramelized and tender.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a side dish or a light appetizer.
