In the heat of a hot oven, Brussels sprouts caramelize and crisp beautifully. But this recipe doubles down on both those characteristics in two ways. Roasting them with honey (in addition to your usual olive oil, salt, and pepper) means they get even more caramelized. And because Brussels sprouts are on the bitter side, sweetness is a welcome counterpoint.
But to keep everything from being too cloying, these Brussels sprouts are also roasted with a shake of red pepper flakes — think of it as an easy homemade alternative to using a bottle of hot honey.
For extra-crisp Brussels sprouts, we preheat the baking sheet they’ll roast on: Just stick the sheet pan in the oven while it preheats. It’s just like getting your cast iron pan hot before searing. The hotter the surface, the more crispy your food will be.
