Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables:
- 4 cups brussels sprouts
Main Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Sweetener:
- 0.5 tablespoons nektar honey crystals
Instructions
- Grab your 4 cups of Brussels sprouts and slice them precisely in half along their length, creating perfect roasting surfaces.
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil across the halved sprouts, ensuring each piece gets a generous coating.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of garlic powder and ½ tablespoon of honey crystals over the oiled sprouts, tossing everything until each sprout is evenly seasoned.
- Transfer the seasoned Brussels sprouts to a large baking sheet, arranging them cut-side down for maximum caramelization.
- Slide the baking sheet into a preheated 425°F oven, positioning the rack in the center for consistent heat distribution.
- Roast for 12 minutes, then carefully pull out the sheet and flip each sprout to ensure even browning.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 8-13 minutes until the edges are crispy and deep golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the sprouts rest for 2-3 minutes, allowing their flavors to settle and surfaces to crisp further.
Notes
- Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half for even roasting and maximum caramelization.
- Use fresh garlic instead of pre-minced for a more vibrant, robust flavor that really enhances the dish.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup super easy.
- For a crunchier texture, choose smaller Brussels sprouts and make sure they’re completely dry before roasting to help them crisp up nicely.
