Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts , washed and trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF and slice the brussels sprouts in half. Very large brussels sprouts can be cut into quarters, and very small brussels sprouts don't need to be cut at all.
Transfer the brussels sprouts to a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil and salt. Toss well to coat evenly, then arrange them cut-side-down on the pan. Roast at 400ºF for 20 minutes, or until the tops look golden brown.
In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Whisk well to combine. When the brussels sprouts are done roasting, remove the pan from the oven and add the balsamic mixture to the pan. Stir well so the brussels sprouts are evenly coated, then return to the oven for them to bake for 5 more minutes.
When the timer goes off, remove them from the oven and serve warm immediately. Season with extra salt or black pepper, to taste. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

Nutrition information is for roughly 4 oz. of roasted brussels sprouts, or a quarter of this batch. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.

Note: You can omit the sweetener from this recipe if you are using a syrupy balsamic vinegar that already looks thick and tastes sweet. (Some stores also sell a "balsamic glaze" that is already sweetened, so you can use that as an alternative, too.)

Update Note: This recipe was updated in January 2024. If you prefer the original recipe made with coconut oil, you can find that here.
