Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.

Tender, caramelized and tossed in a honey balsamic glaze, these roasted Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts are simple and easy - perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special holiday dinner!

These brussels sprouts are roasted until the edges are browned and caramelized, while the centers are tender and buttery. 

Then they're tossed in a glaze of balsamic vinegar, honey and a touch of sriracha for some spice (try these Sweet and Spicy Roasted Brussels Sprouts too). They are GOOD. And I mean seriously, bring you to your knees good.

I love how incredibly easy these are, and how perfect they are for any type of dinner. They take about 30 minutes, most of which is hand-off time so you can make the rest of your dinner.

Brussels sprouts are such an awesome vegetable to cook and they are very versatile. They're also incredibly delicious braised, like these Braised Brussels Sprouts with bacon. 

You can also cook them straight from frozen in this air fryer frozen brussels sprouts recipe!

Ingredients

Always try to buy smaller sized brussels sprouts as they are more tender and have a sweeter flavor. 

A good quality balsamic vinegar is a must to get the best flavor for this recipe. Buy balsamic vinegar.

I also try and use a good quality honey. I'm lucky enough to get fresh honey from the boyfriend's parents, but any kind of raw honey will be incredible. Buy raw honey.

You can also try using this hot honey for extra spice and tang.

The remaining ingredients are listed in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

Step By Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425F degrees.

Trim the ends off the brussels and peel off any browned outer leaves. Slice them in half lengthwise.

Place them in a bowl and add the olive oil and salt. Toss to coat the sprouts.

Spread the Brussels sprouts on a lined baking sheet.

Roast for 25-30 minutes, until edges are browned and caramelized.

Add the remaining ingredients and mix together in a small bowl to make the glaze while the Brussels are roasting.

Remove the Brussels from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the glaze over top and toss to coat them. 

Serve immediately. 

What To Serve With Brussels Sprouts

• These Braised Beef Short Ribs, Sous Vide Rib Roast, Instant Pot Oxtails or this sous vide prime rib would go great with these brussels sprouts;
• Serve alongside Garlic Mashed Potatoes or Hasselback Potatoes for a complete meal;
• They would also be great with this Creamy Pesto Pasta or Vegetarian Lasagna.

Expert Tips

1. Use small sized brussels sprouts for the best flavor and tenderness.
2. Good quality honey and balsamic vinegar are a must to get the best flavor for these brussels sprouts.
3. The brussels sprouts should be golden brown on the edges and easily able pierced with a knife end. If not, continue cooking.
4. You can use frozen brussels sprouts as well. You may need to add 3-5 minutes to the roast time - keep checking them and remove when browned and caramelized around the edges.

If you're in a hurry, these Instant Pot brussels sprouts are pretty darn amazing too.
