Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts

These Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts are crisp on the outside, tender inside, and finished with a tangy balsamic glaze.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb (680 g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them cut-side down in a single layer.
  3. Roast for 20–25 minutes, until browned and tender.
  4. Whisk the balsamic vinegar, honey or maple syrup, and garlic together. Drizzle over the hot Brussels sprouts and toss gently.
  5. Finish with Parmesan, if desired, and serve warm.

Cooking Tips

Choose firm, bright green Brussels sprouts and avoid overcrowding the pan so they roast rather than steam.

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven or air fryer until warm.
