  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Before you start

Equipment You'll Need

  • Large baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board

Safety Tips & Important Notes

Follow these for best results and safety.

  1. Make sure Brussels sprouts are completely dry before tossing with oil for maximum crispiness.
  2. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet or the sprouts will steam instead of roast.
  3. For extra flavor, add minced garlic during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  4. The smaller the Brussels sprouts, the faster they cook, so adjust timing accordingly.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Trim the stem ends off the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellowed outer leaves, then cut each sprout in half lengthwise.

  3. Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  4. Arrange the Brussels sprouts cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don't overlap.

  5. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are crispy and browned and the sprouts are tender when pierced with a fork.

  6. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with balsamic vinegar, tossing gently to coat.

  7. If using honey, drizzle it over the sprouts and toss again for a touch of sweetness.

  8. Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm.

Chef's notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in a 400°F oven for 5 to 7 minutes to restore crispiness.

This dish pairs well with roasted meats, fish, or as part of a vegetarian grain bowl.

For a variation, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese right after removing from the oven.
