# What You'll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
→ Oils & Seasonings
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1/2 tsp sea salt
04 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

06 - 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional)
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Spread the Brussels sprouts cut side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
04 - Roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the sprouts are golden and crisped on the edges.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The honey creates these incredible sticky, caramelized edges that make Brussels sprouts taste like candy from the vegetable world
- This recipe turns the most divisive vegetable into something people actually fight over for seconds
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the enemy of crispy Brussels sprouts, give them room or they will steam instead of roast
- Adding the honey at the end prevents it from burning in the high heat oven
03 -
- Look for Brussels sprouts that feel heavy for their size with bright green leaves, avoiding any with yellowing or wilted outer layers
- Letting the sprouts sit cut side down for the full roasting time creates the best caramelization
