Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts are the only brussels sprout recipe you'll ever need! They are made with olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper, and are sweet, caramelized, and absolutely irresistible. They're a brussels sprout delicious side dish!
Brussels sprouts are, hands down, my favorite vegetable. They've always been my favorite - even as a kid. My grandparents used to steam them and slather butter on them and I couldn't get enough of them! Yeah, I was a weird kid. I used to eat them just steamed but these days Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts are my method of choice!
These days, my favorite way to cook brussels sprouts is to roast them so they get nice and crispy. As you can see from the photos of these honey balsamic brussels sprouts, I like my brussels sprouts EXTRA crispy. I get them crispy by roasting them at a fairly high temperature, 425 degrees F, and tossing them in a decent amount of olive oil.
How to Get Flavorful Brussels Sprouts
To get flavor, I added honey, garlic, and balsamic vinegar to these b.sprouts! It doesn't require many ingredients when the ones you use are just full of flavor. The honey adds some sweetness, the balsamic vinegar adds a little tang and the garlic adds delicious garlic flaor.

Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
Ingredients
- 1 ½-2 lbs brussels sprouts, halved
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Optional: line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. This cuts down on clean-up.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the brussels sprouts in all but 1 tablespoon of the honey balsamic mixture and place on baking sheet.
- Roast in the pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes, until they are caramelized and tender. I like my brussels sprouts on the crispier side, so I roast mine closer to 25 minutes.
- Brush the roasted brussels sprouts with the remaining honey balsamic mixture. Serve and enjoy!
