Consider this the only Brussels sprouts recipe you’ll ever need. The sprouts are roasted until they’re ridiculously crispy, then tossed in a sweet and savory honey-balsamic glaze. They’re reminiscent of the kind of Brussels sprouts you order at restaurants that leave you wondering what is it that they do to them?
The Secret to Gastro Pub-Style Crispy-Sweet Brussels Sprouts
We’ve unlocked the secrets behind the crispy Brussels sprouts we love. Here’s what makes the difference:
- A flavor-packed sauce with just a touch of sugar — in this case, honey.
- Seriously high heat — we roast these babies at 425°F.
How to Cook 3-Ingredient Crispy Brussels Sprouts
In order to get Brussels sprouts as crispy as possible, you need to crank up the heat in your oven. A blistering 425°F ensures the bottoms will brown and the leaves will char, turning them potato-chip like.
Toss the sprouts with a generous splash of balsamic vinegar and drizzle of honey as soon as they come out of the oven and they’ll soak up all that savory, sweet flavor and become a side dish that rivals the main course.

Nutritional Info
Ingredients
- 2 pounds
Brussels sprouts
- 1/4 cup
olive oil
- 1 teaspoon
kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons
balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons
honey
Instructions
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425°F. Meanwhile, trim the bottoms from the sprouts if they appear dry or yellowed, and peel away the loose outer leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half through the stem.
Place the Brussels sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet. Add the oil and toss to coat. Season with the salt and pepper and toss to coat again. Arrange them cut-side down.
Roast, stirring halfway through, until the leaves are dark brown and crisp and the undersides of the sprouts are browned, 25 to 30 minutes total. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and honey and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
