These Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts are a sweet and savory side dish, featuring perfectly caramelized sprouts tossed in a homemade honey balsamic glaze. Optional toppings of walnuts and feta add extra flavor and texture, making them a standout addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  3. Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves.
  4. Cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.
  5. In a small bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until smooth.
  6. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the glaze, adjusting seasoning to taste.
  7. In a large mixing bowl, add the halved Brussels sprouts.
  8. Drizzle olive oil over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat.
  9. Pour the honey balsamic glaze over the Brussels sprouts and toss until evenly coated.
  10. If using, chop walnuts and add them to the bowl.
  11. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer.
  12. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  13. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes until they are tender and caramelized.
  14. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes.
  15. If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the warm Brussels sprouts.
  16. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
  17. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup.
  • Add cranberries for a tart flavor or bacon for a smoky touch.
  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the glaze.
  • If short on time, steam Brussels sprouts for 5 minutes before roasting.
