Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut the larger sprouts in half to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss to ensure the sprouts are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for optimal caramelization.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender on the inside and golden brown with crispy edges on the outside. Stir or flip halfway through to promote even cooking.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey (or maple syrup).
Step 7
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle the balsamic mixture over the hot sprouts. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Step 8
Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful balsamic Brussels sprouts as a side to any meal!
