Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, remove any yellowed or damaged outer leaves, and cut them in half.
Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side down.
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the sprouts are browned and tender.
While the Brussels sprouts roast, prepare the lemon glaze. Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Then juice the lemon, measuring out 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of honey, and the lemon zest. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them to a serving bowl.
Drizzle the lemon glaze over the roasted Brussels sprouts and toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy this tangy, sweet, and savory dish!
