Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Honey Balsamic Glaze
Enjoy a nutrient-rich side dish with these roasted brussels sprouts coated with an amazing honey balsamic glaze.
- 1 1/2 lb (700g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup (60ml) extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
- 1/4 cup (60ml) honey
- 1/3 cup (80ml) balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Fresh rosemary, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230ºC). Toss brussels sprouts and oil in a large bowl; season with salt and black pepper.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange brussels sprout cut side down on one side of the baking sheet. Roast Brussels sprouts until softened and deeply browned, approx. 20–25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring honey to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until honey is a deep amber color but not burnt, 3–4 minutes.
- Remove honey from heat and add balsamic vinegar and red pepper flakes (if using), and whisk until smooth – Be careful it can make bubbles when you add balsamic. Return the saucepan to medium heat, add butter and a pinch of salt. Cook, whisking constantly, until the balsamic honey glaze is glossy, bubbling, and slightly thickened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Transfer roasted brussels sprouts to a large bowl. Add glaze, pecan, dried cranberries and toss to combine. Transfer to a platter or a serving bowl, garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs. Enjoy!
