Ingredients
-
1 ½ pounds fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
¼ cup honey
-
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
-
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
Optional: ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice them in half lengthwise for even cooking.
-
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
-
Spread the sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
-
While roasting, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl to make the glaze.
-
Remove the roasted Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle with the honey mustard glaze. Toss gently to coat each sprout evenly.
-
Return to the oven for an additional 5–7 minutes to allow the glaze to thicken and caramelize.
-
Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
-
Choose small, firm Brussels sprouts for the best flavor and texture.
-
Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting.
-
The glaze can be made ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to use.
-
For a spicier version, increase crushed red pepper flakes or add a dash of cayenne.
-
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or oven.
