Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Sesame seeds and fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy.
3. While the sprouts are roasting, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer the mixture for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s slightly thickened.
4. Once the Brussels sprouts are out of the oven, transfer them to a bowl. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the top and toss everything together to fully coat the sprouts.
5. For a beautiful presentation, sprinkle the Crispy Honey Garlic Brussels Sprouts with sesame seeds and chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the perfect balance of crispy, sticky, savory-sweet deliciousness!
Notes
When selecting Brussels sprouts, look for tightly packed, bright green heads that are free of any yellowing or browning. Avoid sprouts that are limp or have damaged leaves. The fresher the sprouts, the better they’ll roast up.
Feel free to tweak the seasonings and sauce to suit your taste preferences. If you want a little more heat, add an extra pinch of red pepper flakes. For a tangier glaze, increase the amount of apple cider vinegar. You can also experiment with different spices, herbs, or even a splash of lemon juice.
