Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts (Print-Friendly Version)

Golden brussels sprouts glazed in honey and balsamic with garlic for a sweet, tangy, and savory side.

# Ingredients List:

→ Vegetables

01 - 450 g brussels sprouts, stems removed and halved

→ Oils and Seasonings

02 - 15 ml avocado oil
03 - 2.5 ml sea salt
04 - 2.5 ml freshly ground black pepper

→ Balsamic Honey Glaze

05 - 30 ml extra virgin olive oil
06 - 30 ml honey
07 - 60 ml balsamic vinegar
08 - 2 cloves garlic, finely grated

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 200°C. Slice brussels sprouts lengthwise and arrange on a large baking tray.
02 - Drizzle avocado oil over brussels sprouts. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat, then arrange cut-side down on the tray for optimal caramelization.
03 - Roast in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes until golden and crisp on the cut sides.
04 - While the sprouts roast, place olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, and grated garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk to combine.
05 - Simmer the mixture on medium-low heat for 5 minutes, whisking gently. Monitor closely as the glaze may foam up during cooking. Remove from heat; sauce will thicken as it cools.
06 - Remove brussels sprouts from the oven. Immediately transfer to a serving bowl and toss with the balsamic honey sauce. Serve hot.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For best texture, serve immediately after tossing with sauce. The brussels sprouts will lose crispiness upon refrigeration. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
