Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Balsamic (Printable)

Golden sprouts roasted until crispy, topped with tangy balsamic glaze for irresistible flavor.

# What You Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

→ Pantry

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Balsamic Reduction

05 - 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
06 - 1 tablespoon honey, optional

# Step-by-Step:

01 - Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Spread Brussels sprouts cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
04 - Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until sprouts are golden brown and caramelized.
05 - While sprouts roast, combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half and syrupy, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
06 - Remove Brussels sprouts from oven. Arrange on a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic reduction. Serve immediately.

01 -
  • Simple preparation with just 10 minutes of active work.
  • A healthy, gluten-free, and vegetarian option for any meal.
  • The combination of savory roasted vegetables and a sweet balsamic glaze is a crowd-favorite.
02 -
