Ingredients
  

For the dressing
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 Tbsp honey plus 1 teaspoon for drizzling later
  • 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt divided
Main ingredients
  • 1 lb. Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, crushed red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt until emulsified.
  3. Add the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts to the bowl and toss gently until they are evenly coated in the dressing.
Roasting
  1. Arrange the Brussels sprouts cut sides down on a large baking sheet.
  2. Drizzle any remaining dressing from the bowl over the sprouts.
  3. Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes.
  4. After 15 minutes, gently toss the sprouts and arrange them cut sides down again. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Once tender and crisp, drizzle the remaining 1 teaspoon of honey over the Brussels sprouts and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. Toss gently.
Serving
  1. Transfer the caramelized Brussels sprouts to a serving platter and enjoy.

Notes

To achieve the best results, use high-quality Brussels sprouts. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure proper caramelization. For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup.
