Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Honey Rich and Flavorful

Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.25 cup pecans, roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until all the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
3. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for maximum caramelization.
4. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the outsides.
5. In the last 5 minutes of roasting, add the chopped pecans to the baking sheet to toast them lightly.
6. Once done, remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze for an extra tangy-sweet finish.
7. Serve warm, garnished with additional nuts if desired.
