Roasted brussels sprouts are great. Roasted brussels sprouts coated in spicy honey are fantastic.
Honey Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries and Lime
Ingredients
- 2 lbs brussels sprouts
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp chili infused honey or 1 tbsp regular honey plus a pinch of cayenne
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- Zest and juice from one lime
- Handful of dried cranberries
- flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 with the baking sheet in the oven as it preheats. Preheating your baking sheet guarantees optimal browning when roasting vegetables.
- Slice the brussels sprouts in half and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add in the olive oil, honey and season with salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Carefully remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven. Transfer the Brussels sprouts to the baking sheet, cut side down! Roast for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown, time will depend on the size of your sprouts.
- When you’re ready to serve, toss the cooked Brussels sprouts in the zest and juice from 1 lime, dried cranberries, fresh mint and flakey sea salt. Once they’re plated, I like to add an additional drizzle of honey and squeeze of lime over the top.
Made these last night and they were super yummy! I followed all the roasting instructions including heating up the sheets in the oven, but it took me two tries to make because the first batch got completely charred in the oven. 35 mins ended up being too long but 20-25 mins worked just right. Could this just be because of the sprout size?
