Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
Cooking Oils:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Seasoning and Sweeteners:
- ¼ cup honey
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Crank your oven to a toasty 400F and grab a large rimmed baking sheet for roasting.
- Slice each Brussels sprout precisely in half, ensuring they’ll caramelize beautifully during cooking.
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the halved sprouts, coating them thoroughly so every surface gets a golden shine.
- Pour ¼ cup honey across the sprouts, using a spatula to create an even, glistening layer that will transform into a sweet glaze.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper across the sprouts, distributing seasoning evenly for balanced flavor.
- Arrange the sprouts cut-side down on the baking sheet, spacing them so they’re not overcrowded and can develop crisp edges.
- Slide the sheet into the preheated 400F oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to ensure uniform browning.
- Check the sprouts at the 15-minute mark, gently turning them to prevent burning and promote even caramelization.
- Remove from the oven when the edges are deeply golden and slightly crisp, with a rich honey-glazed appearance.
- Let the sprouts rest for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a serving dish, allowing the glaze to set slightly.
Notes
- Brussels sprouts caramelize beautifully when spread out with space between them, so avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Trim the stem ends and slice larger sprouts in half to ensure even cooking and maximum crispy edges.
- Drizzle extra honey after roasting for a more intense sweet glaze that adds shine and depth to the final dish.
- Using fresh, local honey will provide a richer flavor compared to processed supermarket varieties, enhancing the overall taste of the recipe.
