Description
This Balsamic Brussels Sprouts recipe offers a flavorful and easy way to enjoy tender, roasted Brussels sprouts coated in a sweet and tangy honey balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (or quartered if large)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly, trim off the ends, and optionally remove the outer leaves. Depending on their size, halve or quarter them to ensure even roasting. Dry them completely to help them roast properly.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and nicely browned.
- Mince the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and water. Simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low and let it simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the glaze thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey balsamic glaze over them and toss to coat evenly. Garnish with chopped pecans or walnuts and fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy their full flavor and texture.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey.
- Use walnuts instead of pecans for a different flavor.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
