Caramelized Brussels sprouts coated in a sweet honey-mustard glaze, perfect as a savory side.

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

→ Glaze

02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 2 tbsp honey
04 - 1 ½ tbsp Dijon mustard
05 - 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard

08 - ½ tsp salt
09 - ¼ tsp black pepper

# Cooking Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until combined.
03 - Add the Brussels sprouts to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the glaze.
04 - Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing them cut side down for optimal caramelization.
05 - Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and caramelized.
06 - Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They're crispy and caramelized on the outside, tender within—the texture contrast is genuinely addictive.
  • The honey-mustard glaze tastes restaurant-quality but comes together in the time it takes your oven to preheat.
  • It's the kind of side dish that makes people ask for the recipe instead of just politely finishing their plate.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the baking sheet—if the Brussels sprouts are piled on top of each other, they'll steam instead of caramelize, and you'll lose the whole reason you're making this dish.
  • The glaze will tighten as it cools, so if it looks a little thin right out of the oven, resist the urge to panic; it'll coat beautifully once things settle down.
03 -
  • Make your glaze while the oven preheats, then the real cooking time is just those 25 minutes—this entire dish can be on the table faster than most takeout deliveries.
  • If your oven runs cool, crank it up to 450°F and watch the timing closely; caramelization is everything here, and a cooler oven means softer sprouts instead of that crispy-edged texture that makes people go back for more.
