Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Place a greased sheet pan in the oven, and heat to 450°F.

Place the Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the Brussels sprouts and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to coat.

Carefully spoon the Brussels sprouts onto the hot sheet pan and quickly spread them out so they have some space to crisp up. Bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the sprouts are tender and crisp on the edges.

Hot Honey Glaze

While the sprouts are roasting, make the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the hot honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic, rosemary, butter, and red pepper flakes.

Cook the glaze on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring often, until the butter is melted and the glaze is combined. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-6 minutes until the glaze is slightly thickened.

Immediately pour the glaze into a bowl and let it cool for a few minutes to thicken slightly.

Assemble & Garnish

Once the sprouts are roasted, spoon them onto a serving dish. Toss with about half of the hot honey glaze. Taste, and add more glaze if desired. Garnish with the toasted hazelnuts and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Sprouts Thoroughly 💧
Pat Brussels sprouts completely dry with paper towels before roasting; excess moisture prevents crispy caramelization and creates steam instead of the desired golden, crunchy exterior.
Toast Hazelnuts Separately 🌰
Lightly toast hazelnuts in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to ensure they stay crunchy and develop deeper flavor rather than becoming soggy from the hot honey glaze.
Balance Sweet and Spicy 🌶️
Start with less red pepper flakes than you think you need, then taste and adjust—the heat intensifies as the honey glaze cools, so you can always add more but can't take it out.
Make Hot Honey Fresh 🍯
Prepare your hot honey infusion 10-15 minutes before serving by gently warming honey with butter and red pepper flakes; this allows flavors to meld while ensuring the glaze is silky and clings perfectly to the warm sprouts.
Cut Sprouts Evenly for Consistency ✂️
Halve Brussels sprouts to similar sizes so they cook uniformly and develop even caramelization; larger pieces take longer and may burn while smaller ones finish too quickly.
