Honey Roasted Brussels Sprouts take brussels sprouts to the next level. Roasted until tender and caramelized and enveloped in a sweet and slightly spicy honey glaze, this recipe will make anyone a believer.

While I love Air-Fried Brussels Sprouts and a Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad, it is these sweet honey roasted Brussels sprouts that win over my picky eaters. They are perfect served alongside Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin, Pan-Seared Ribeye Steak, or London Broil.

Kristen's Keys

When it comes to making roasted Brussels sprouts that will make you crave your veggies, these are the tips that matter.

  • Use Fresh Sprouts: Choose fresh, firm Brussels sprouts. Remove any outer leaves with black spots, but avoid soft sprouts as they may be past their prime.
  • Roast Brussels Sprouts Side Down: Cut the sprouts in half and then place them cut side down to caramelize the flat surface and crisp the leaves, without needing to flip them mid-roast.
  • Season YOUR Way: While I recommend using honey and a bit of hot sauce for a sweet and savory Brussels sprouts, feel free to omit one or the other.
  • Don't Overcrowd: Spread the sprouts evenly on the pan to avoid steaming. Use two pans if necessary.
  • Watch for Overcooking: Monitor them closely in the final minutes to prevent burning.

Happy Cooking! xo Kristen
