Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. Brussels Sprouts
  • 2 Tablespoons salt
  • 6-8 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon white pepper
  • 4 Tablespoons honey

Optional Additions

  • 5 strips Bacon
  • 5 cloves garlic

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Clean the brussels sprouts under cool water, I like to use this vegetable spray.
  • Important! Dry them completely with a dish towel or paper towels.
  • If the bottom of the stem is dirty, thinly slice the tip of each.
  • Slice them into halves of equal size. Slice larger ones into quarters.
  • Line them onto baking sheets, flat side down. Note: Darker baking sheets cook faster, especially on the outside.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Place in the oven for 15 minutes and remove immediately.
  • Flip each brussel sprout over. If some are very dark on the outside of the pan, switch them with a some that are in the middle of the pan for even cooking.
  • Place them back in the oven. Note: There is a fine line here between perfectly roasted vs. burnt.
  • Check on them every 4 minutes and shake the pan, then continue to roast, until they’re dark green/brown, but not black.
  • Drizzle each pan with 2 Tablespoons of honey and use a spoon to toss and coat evenly.
  • The sooner you can serve them, the better they’ll taste!

Notes

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
  • Bacon adds an additional element of flavor and texture to roasted brussels sprouts.
  • It's a good idea to cook the bacon first and reserve the bacon grease to toss with the Brussels Sprouts prior to roasting.
  • Roughly chop the bacon and sprinkle it over the brussels sprouts after roasting, just before serving.
Brussels Sprouts with Garlic
  • If you choose to add garlic, add about 5 cloves that have been generously tossed in oil and a little salt.
  • Add them after the first 15 minutes of cooking, after you've flipped them over.
