The main ingredients that make this Honey Balsamic Brussel Sprout recipe fantastic are the following:
Brussel sprouts
I use fresh sprouts rather than frozen as itโs really hard to get a caramelised crispy exterior with frozen. They release a lot of moisture which stops this process from happening.
Honey
The secret to crispy brussel sprouts. If youโre vegan, you can use agave nectar for this sweet brussel sprouts recipe.
Balsamic vinegar
Be sure to use balsamic vinegar, not balsamic glaze as you will get an overly sweet end result.

I use fresh sprouts rather than frozen as itโs really hard to get a caramelised crispy exterior with frozen. They release a lot of moisture which stops this process from happening.ย
No, just wash them to remove any dirt before slicing.ย
You may have overcrowded them in the pan. This means that they release a lot of steam onto each other whilst they roast which prevents crispiness. To avoid this, ensure that your brussel sprouts arenโt over crowded.ย
No need for boiling! This would also prevent the crispy exterior that weโre after with the sprouts, due to too much moisture being in the tray.ย
Absolutely! Cook them for 10-12minutes at 180ยฐC/355ยฐF, adding the glaze after 5 minutes.ย
