Balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts are crispy, caramelized, and coated in a tangy-sweet balsamic reduction. This easy roasted side dish is full of bold flavor and makes even Brussels sprouts skeptics fall in love.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Place halved Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Arrange cut-side down for crispier results.
  3. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
  4. While roasting, combine balsamic vinegar and honey (or maple syrup) in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, until thickened. Add garlic if using and cook briefly.
  5. Remove sprouts from oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Toss to coat evenly.
  6. Serve immediately while warm and caramelized.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—use two if doubling the recipe.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version.
  • For extra crunch, add toasted nuts or seeds before serving.
  • Roast garlic alongside the sprouts for a mellow garlic flavor.
  • The glaze can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
