Tips

Tip 1

Cut Brussels sprouts to similar size for even roasting.

Tip 2

Place cut side down to develop a caramelized, crispy exterior.

Tip 3

Toss while glaze is hot so it adheres better.

Good to Know

Storage

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 350-degree oven.

Make Ahead

Wash, dry, and halve Brussels sprouts up to 1 day ahead. Store in the refrigerator in a damp towel. Prepare the glaze just before roasting.

Serve With

Serve warm as a side dish. Pairs well with roasted chicken, pork, or fish.

Common Mistakes

Watch

Do not skip drying the Brussels sprouts to avoid excess moisture, which prevents crisping.

Watch

Do not crowd the pan to ensure even browning and crispness.

Watch

Do not toss the glaze until the sprouts have cooled slightly to avoid it sliding off.
