I’m writing to tell you that I just ate half a bag of these Brussels sprouts. Don’t judge me. I feel healthier, actually 😆. I literally loaded up a giant bowl, added some dried cranberries, and went to town. These Brussels sprouts are tender with crunchy roasted leaves, a slight tang from the cider, and a touch of honey drizzled on top. Hello, heaven!!

How to make the best in the world Brussels Sprouts

You’ll find this to be one of the EASIEST recipes you have! Here are the steps:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Cut the stem off the bottom of the sprout and then cut it in half.
Throw them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the veg oil, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper, and a little balsamic vinegar (not all). Toss around to coat.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, toss with a spatula, then 15 more minutes.
Let cool for a couple of minutes and toss with the rest of the balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt.
Voila!!

Roasting Brussel Sprouts

Have you had the joy of roasting vegetables? Well, if not, then you are in for a divine treat!! I truly think that roasting is the best way to have your veggies!

The trick to roasting is tossing/rotating and getting the edges off the pan so that each side gets a nice slight char from the oil and vinegar. I love them so much 😍. You can use this technique for just about ANY vegetable! Even the same recipe!
