Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or keto-friendly sweetener (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through.
- Prepare the Balsamic Glaze: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, combine balsamic vinegar and honey (if using) in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Serve: Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, drizzle them with the balsamic glaze and toss to combine. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
