These Roasted Balsamic Brussels Sprouts are caramelized, crispy on the edges, and coated in a sweet and tangy balsamic glaze. This easy oven-roasted Brussels sprouts recipe is the perfect vegetarian side dish for weeknight dinners or holiday meals, made with simple ingredients and bold flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1–2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

  • Optional: 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Place halved Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

  • Spread in a single layer, cut side down for better caramelization.

  • Roast for 20–25 minutes, until edges are crispy and centers are tender.

  • Remove from oven and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to coat.

  • Add minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. If desired, drizzle honey or maple syrup.

  • Return to oven for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness.

  • For extra crunch, add chopped walnuts or pecans during the last few minutes.

  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving brightens the flavor.

  • To keep vegan, omit Parmesan or use a dairy-free alternative.

  • Freezing is not recommended due to texture changes.
