Honey Butter Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Honey, Soy Sauce, and Crushed Red Pepper! Enjoy these delicious, crispy Brussel Sprouts
Ingredients
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 Ib Brussel Sprouts
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Honey Butter Glaze
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Honey maple syrup is a good substitute if preferred
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce for umami and depth
- 1/2 tsp crushed Red Pepper flakes optional, for a hint of heat
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, removing any damaged outer leaves. Then, place them in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This basic seasoning enhances the natural flavors of the sprouts while preparing them for a crispy roast.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts on your baking sheet in a single layer with the cut side down. This positioning helps them develop a beautifully caramelized, crispy texture.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes. Halfway through the roasting time, give them a quick stir or shake the pan to ensure even crisping on all sides. The Brussels sprouts are ready when they’re tender and crispy around the edges.
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the honey butter glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add honey and soy sauce, stirring until everything is well blended. If you’d like a touch of heat, sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes.
- Let the glaze simmer for about 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then remove from heat.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are perfectly roasted, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the warm honey butter glaze over the Brussels sprouts, and gently toss to coat them evenly.
- Transfer your glazed Brussels sprouts to a serving dish, and enjoy them while they’re hot and crispy. These sprouts pair beautifully with roasted meats, seafood, or even a hearty pasta dish.
