Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 lb brussels sprouts, stems removed
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Honey Balsamic Sauce
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the brussels sprouts.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Slice the brussels sprouts in half and place them on a large baking sheet.
- Season Sprouts: Drizzle the brussels sprouts with avocado oil and sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over them.
- Toss and Arrange: Toss the sprouts to coat them evenly with the oil and seasonings, then arrange them cut side down on the baking sheet.
- Roast Sprouts: Roast in the oven for 18-20 minutes until they become golden brown and crispy.
- Make Sauce: While roasting, prepare the honey balsamic sauce by combining extra virgin olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, and grated garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk and Simmer: Whisk the sauce ingredients together and simmer on medium-low heat for 5 minutes, being careful as the mixture may bubble up quickly.
- Cool Sauce: Remove the saucepan from heat and set aside to cool; the sauce will thicken as it cools.
- Toss with Sauce: Once the brussels sprouts are roasted, transfer them to a bowl and toss with the cooled honey balsamic sauce to coat evenly.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the sweet, tangy, and savory flavors.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure the brussels sprouts are spaced evenly and not overcrowded on the baking sheet.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and balsamic vinegar to taste if you prefer a stronger flavor.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
