Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment for easier cleanup.
- Prep sprouts: Trim the stem ends and cut sprouts in half. If some are very large, quarter them for even cooking.
- Season: Toss Brussels sprouts in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast: Spread cut-side down on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and caramelized.
- Make glaze: While sprouts roast, whisk together balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, until reduced slightly and syrupy. Remove from heat.
- Finish: Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the hot roasted Brussels sprouts. Toss gently to coat.
- Optional garnish: Add shaved Parmesan for richness or toasted pine nuts for crunch before serving.
