How to Make Easy Savory Caramelized Brussels Sprouts

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then spray it lightly with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss together the halved Brussels sprouts with a whisked mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, light brown sugar, Dijon mustard, fresh orange juice, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  • Spread the cut-side down Brussels sprouts onto your prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast the sprouts in the oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing them halfway through until golden-brown.
  • Roast for an additional 10-15 minutes for that perfect tender yet crispy texture.
  • Drizzle the remaining balsamic glaze over the sprouts, give them a gentle toss, and serve on a platter.

Notes

Optional: Sprinkle with toasted almonds for extra crunch and flavor.
