Ingredients
Scale
- 32 oz Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (about 4 sprigs)
- Zest from ½ navel orange
- Garnish: thyme sprigs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Add the Brussels sprouts to a sheet pan and pour olive oil over the top, along with the salt. Toss to combine and arrange cut side down. Roast for 25 minutes (until dark brown with crispy edges), rotating the pan about halfway through.
- Meanwhile, add balsamic vinegar, honey and thyme leaves to a liquid measuring cup and whisk with a fork.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are done, add to a large bowl and pour half the honey balsamic mixture over the top, tossing to coat while still hot. Season with additional salt if needed. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle the rest of the honey balsamic mixture over the top. Garnish with orange zest and thyme sprigs. Serve immediately.

- The equipment section above includes affiliate links to things I use often in my kitchen and recommend.
- Sheet pan note: I almost always line my sheet pan with parchment paper when roasting but I would not recommend that here. This is how you get the best caramelization.
- I use this balsamic vinegar - it’s aged, but not the really thick, syrupy type.
