Description
Sweet, savory, and crispy Honey Garlic Brussels Sprouts roasted to perfection with a sticky honey garlic glaze and optional sesame seeds for garnish.
Ingredients
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Trim the Brussels sprouts and halve them. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through.
4. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Warm until fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
5. Remove roasted Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle the honey garlic sauce over them. Toss to coat evenly.
6. Return to the oven for an additional 5–7 minutes to caramelize and thicken the glaze.
7. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey.
Increase red pepper flakes or drizzle sriracha for a spicy kick.
Add crunch with toasted almonds or pecans.
Use tamari for gluten-free option.
Prepare ahead: roast Brussels sprouts in advance and reheat with sauce before serving.
