Raise your hand if you love brussel sprouts! If you don’t, don’t worry about it. There’s a chance you just haven’t have the right brussel sprouts. I’d give these Honey Garlic Herb Roasted Brussel Sprouts.
To be honest, I hadn’t eaten brussel sprouts until I started dating my fiance and a family friend made me try them at our first Thanksgiving together. It was….. okay, to say the least. But it shocked me because I just always assumed brussel sprouts were as bad as all my friends growing up said they were but it was just okay.
That’s when I realized that brussel sprouts are fine, I just think there’s one superior way of cooking them. And that is by oven roasting them. As far as brussel sprouts go, there’s nothing better than super brown and crispy roasted sprouts, and layering them with a sweet and salty glaze will help cut any bitterness that the sprouts may have.
This recipe is super easy but I include a trick for how to get the BEST roasted sprouts. That is preheating your baking sheet along with the oven so that it is already ripping hot when you place the brussel sprouts in the oven. You also want to leave your sheet unlined and place the sprouts face down so there’s continued and direct contact between the hot metal and the open face of the sprout.
In the last five to ten minutes of baking time you want to turn the sprouts over so that they cook evenly. And with just that, you’ll always have the most perfectly roasted brussel sprouts.
You should always toss brussel sprouts in salt, pepper, and oil before you roast them. That’s how you get your classic roasted brussel sprouts.
But here’s how you get your Honey Garlic Herb Roasted Brussel Sprouts.
After the sprouts are cooked, saute the garlic and butter together for about 30 seconds and then stir in honey, herbs de provence, and crushed red pepper and then toss the roasted brussel sprouts in and coat!
Honey Garlic Herb Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Brussel Sprouts
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- ½ tsp Kosher Salt
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 Clove Garlic, finely minced or grated
- ¾ Tbsp Honey
- ½ tsp Herbs de Provence (or Italian seasoning)
- ½ tsp Crushed Red Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° and place a baking sheet in the oven while it preheats (make sure it is an unlined baking sheet)
- Trim the stem end of the brussel sprouts and remove any outer leaves, them cut the brussel sprouts in half, lengthwise.
- Toss the brussel sprouts in the olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
- Once the oven has reached 390°, remove the baking sheet and arrange the brussel sprouts face down on the sheet (please do this carefully as the pan will be very hot and make sure the pan is still an unlined sheet. The sprouts should not stick to the pan as they bake and preheating the pan will help to really roast the sprouts)
- Place the brussel sprouts in the oven at 400°. Bake for 20 minutes and then flips the sprouts so they are face up. Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes (remove when the sprouts are roasted to your preference. I did the full 10 minutes)
- Once you remove the brussel sprouts, heat up the butter in a pan and cook the garlic for about thirty seconds (do all of this on a medium low heat)
- Add the honey, herbs de provence, and crushed red pepper. Stir thoroughly.
- Immediately add the roasted brussel sprouts and toss until they are coated.
- Serve warm!
