Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil plus more for serving
- ¼ cup hot honey
- 1 ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound brussels sprouts halved
Instructions
- Prepare honey honey hot sauce if not using homemade.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Trim the stem ends from the Brussels sprouts, remove any damaged outer leaves, and slice each sprout in half from top to bottom.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, hot honey, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the glaze over the Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl and toss until every piece is evenly coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer with the cut sides facing down whenever possible.
- Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy, caramelized, and deeply golden brown while the centers are tender.
- Drizzle with additional hot honey, if desired, and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan, an extra pinch of red pepper flakes, or freshly cracked black pepper before serving.
- Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving platter. Serve immediately while they're hot and crispy.
Notes
- Choose similar-sized Brussels sprouts: Uniform sizes help everything roast evenly so you don't end up with some overcooked and others undercooked.
- Dry thoroughly before roasting: Moisture prevents caramelization, so pat the Brussels sprouts dry after washing for the crispiest edges.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer with space between them so they roast instead of steam.
- Roast cut-side down: Placing the flat sides against the baking sheet creates beautiful golden-brown caramelization and extra crispy edges.
- Serve immediately: Brussels sprouts are at their crispiest and most flavorful straight from the oven, so serve them while they're still hot.
