Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
I was never a big fan of Brussels sprouts until I tried them roasted. I always had them steamed, sometimes with melted cheddar cheese on top, sometimes with just a squeeze of lemon. But roasted? These Brussels sprouts are so good! and will become your new healthy addiction.
Some may think of them as mini cabbages, they look like them, but it is a compact and flavorful vegetable that when caramelized is irresistible and you will be popping these in your mouth – one after another.
Roasting the Brussels sprouts really gives them a nutty flavor and besides being super healthy, they are tasty.
How to Make Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- First let’s preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or use a silicone baking mat.
- Trim off the outer, dry leaves, cut the bottom off and slice lengthwise.
- In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to coat thoroughly.
- Transfer the Brussels sprouts to baking sheet and roast until tender and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
- Place the roasted Brussels sprouts back in a bowl, or keep on the tray, because then you’re going to toss these in a fantastic combination of flavors. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and honey and toss to coat evenly. Taste and season with kosher salt if necessary and serve.
That’s it! All under 30 minutes, too.
Thought there was more to it? Nope, not at all. Sometimes the simplest or easiest can be so good.
What’s my secret that makes these so good?
I toss these little beauties in a honey and balsamic vinegar mixture after roasting for an incredible dimension in flavor. It sealed the deal for me.
The roasted vegetables are still crispy crunchy and coated in sweet honey and tangy balsamic. Will convert any hater! 🙂
It’s a great side dish or main dish for a meal. The balsamic vinegar makes it tangy, and the honey gives them some sweetness. When tossed with the roasted, caramelized Brussels sprouts – heaven. Enjoy!

Second time a made this I only had jalapeno honey. Added great flavor. Puts a little zest into the dish. I cook this a couple times per month.
That honey sounds amazing! Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic easy recipe, thanks Kevin, love it
Fantastic, so glad you enjoyed it!
We love this recipe at my house! I want to make it for a dinner party where most of the guests are vegan. Would maple syrup be a suitable replacement for the honey or do you think it would add an odd flavor? Thanks in advance!
I’d definitely try the maple syrup then Lauren!
This roasted brussel sprouts recipe is the best thing ever! I can’t stop making them and eating them all up just like a snack. Thanks so much
I know right! They are so good! We make them often at home! Thank you for checking them out! Happy Holidays!
Can I roast them with the balsamic and honey on them or do I need to wait until just before serving to add that?
These are best roasted first then tossed with the balsamic and honey.
Followed your recipe as is – except I got busy and almost forgot about them so they were a little overdone. Still amazing! In my staples now.
We make them often! Give them another go! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Can these be made a day in advance and reheated?
Certainly. They just will not be as crispy as fresh from the oven, especially if tossed with the balsamic and honey.
Really yummy but I cooked too long it didn’t have a
1.5 lbs of Brussels sprouts. I will make again, just cut cooking time.
