Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts

This Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts is my new favorite healthy addiction. This recipe is not just super easy to prepare but also very flavorful. For this holiday season this can be served as a side dish for your family gatherings or any parties.

Roasting brussels sprouts may be the best and most delicious way to prepare them. In this recipe the brussels sprouts are halved, tossed with honey and balsamic vinegar and then roasted in the oven. When these brussels sprouts are exposed to high heat, they caramelize and crisp beautifully. Also I’d love to sprinkle some red pepper flakes before serving for that fair amount of spicy touch to the brussels sprouts balancing the sweetness from the honey glaze and acidity from the brussels sprouts, but adding red pepper flakes is completely optional if you are spice-averse.

How to make Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts with step by step photos & instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Slice the whole brussels sprouts into half. (I usually purchase a bag of halved brussels sprouts from whole foods)

2. Take a mixing bowl, toss the brussels sprouts with honey, balsamic vinegar, pepper, salt and oil. Combine well until the brussels sprouts are coated well. 

3. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread the brussels sprouts evenly on the baking sheet.

4. Place the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven. Roast for 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown caramelized on the edges.

5. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl, toss them with walnuts and sesame seeds. Serve.
