Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g Brussels sprouts Trimmed & halved
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil Helps crisping
  • 1 tbsp Butter Adds richness
  • 2 tbsp Honey For that signature sweetness
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar Slight tang + depth
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced Fresh is best
  • ½ tsp Salt Adjust later
  • ½ tsp Black pepper Fresh cracked preferred
  • ¼ tsp Red chili flakes Optional heat
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese Optional but recommended

Equipment

  • Baking tray (wide enough—crowding ruins crispiness)
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Small pan (for glaze)
  • Spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

Step 1: Prep the Sprouts
  1. Wash, trim the ends, and slice them in half.

  2. If some leaves fall off—don’t throw them away. Those turn into crispy chips in the oven (honestly my favorite part).
Step 2: Roast for Texture
  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (428°F).

  2. Toss sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread them cut-side down on a tray.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes.
  5. Don’t flip them halfway unless necessary. I learned this the hard way—flipping too early kills that golden crust.
Step 3: Build That Signature Glaze
  1. In a small pan:

  2. Melt butter
  3. Add garlic → sauté until fragrant
  4. Add honey + balsamic
  5. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thick.
  6. The smell here? Sweet, nutty, slightly sharp—it’s exactly what makes this the best brussels sprouts recipe for me.
Step 4: Toss & Finish
  1. Take roasted sprouts out.

  2. Immediately toss them in the warm glaze.
  3. Add chili flakes if you like a little heat.
  4. Finish with Parmesan.

Notes

Serve immediately while hot—the crispiness fades as they sit.
