Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (or balsamic vinegar reduced)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
- Spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut side down for maximum crispiness.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze and honey (if using). Toss gently to coat.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired and serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the pan—use two sheets if needed.
- If using balsamic vinegar instead of glaze, reduce ¼ cup balsamic vinegar over low heat until thickened.
- Add crispy bacon bits or toasted nuts (like almonds or pecans) for extra crunch!
