- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Toss until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
- Roast: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Make the Glaze: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, mix the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small bowl.
- Glaze the Sprouts: Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, remove them from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze over them while they’re still hot. Toss to combine, allowing the glaze to coat the sprouts.
- Serve: If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top before serving for added flavor. Enjoy your delicious roasted Brussels sprouts!
Tips:
- Add Nuts: Toss in some toasted walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and flavor.
- Incorporate Bacon: For a savory twist, you can add chopped bacon or pancetta before roasting.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to experiment with spices like paprika, red pepper flakes, or Italian seasoning to customize the flavor.
This method highlights the natural sweetness of Brussels sprouts while providing a savory glaze that makes them irresistible. Enjoy your favorite way to make Brussels sprouts!
