Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1.5 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 tsp Chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp Sliced almonds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts by removing outer leaves and cutting them in half, or quarters if they are large.
In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side down for best caramelization.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the glaze by whisking together 2 tablespoons of honey, 1.5 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 0.25 teaspoon of chili flakes (if using) in a small bowl.
Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, transfer them back to the large bowl and pour the glaze over them. Toss well to ensure the sprouts are evenly coated.
Optional: Transfer the glazed Brussels sprouts back to the baking sheet and roast for an additional 5 minutes for extra caramelization.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sliced almonds (optional) for added crunch.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors!
