Ingredients
  

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Ensure they are evenly coated.

      Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, tossing them halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown.

        Make the Honey Balsamic Glaze: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, combine honey, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the honey is well incorporated and the mixture is warmed through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

          Combine and Serve: Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, remove them from the oven and drizzle the honey balsamic glaze over them. Toss gently to ensure all the sprouts are evenly coated.

            Garnish: Transfer the glazed Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for a pop of flavor and color.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately as a delightful side dish that pairs perfectly with roasted meats or as part of a vegetarian meal!
