Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts ends trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 grated garlic cloves using a microplane

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and place the rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss 1 pound Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, until well coated. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet cut side down for maximum caramelization.
Roast for 18-20 minutes, or until they are crispy on the edges and golden brown.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, make the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 tablespoons honey, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, and 2 grated garlic cloves.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for about 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken. Keep an eye on it, as it may bubble up quickly when stirred.
Remove from heat and set aside. The glaze will continue to thicken as it cools.
Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them to a large bowl and toss with the warm balsamic glaze until evenly coated. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Storage & Reheating: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat at 375°F (190°C) in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness. Not recommended for freezing as they may become soggy.
