Honey Balsamic Brussel Sprouts (Macaroni Grill Copycat)

My Honey Balsamic Brussel Sprouts are just like Romano’s crispy sprouts! They’re sweet, tangy, and savory all at the same time!!

Ingredients

1 pound brussels sprouts halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, toss the sprout halves with the olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated
Arrange the brussel sprouts cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. This will help them get nicely caramelized and crispy.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the brussel sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
While the brussel sprouts are roasting, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar (or honey) to a simmer over medium heat. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until the mixture has reduced by half and has a syrupy consistency.
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle ¾ of the balsamic glaze. Toss gently in a bowl to ensure all the sprouts are coated. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with more balsamic glaze.
Serve the Crispy brussel Sprouts Halves with Balsamic Glaze immediately, while hot. Enjoy!

Notes

Choose brussel sprouts of similar size for even cooking.

The balsamic glaze can be prepared in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Simply reheat before using.

For added crunch and flavor, consider sprinkling some toasted chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) over the brussel sprouts before serving.

For added flavor, consider sprinkling on some shaved or shredded cheese (like parmesan or asiago) over the brussel sprouts before serving

Storage: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep well for about 3-4 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until hot. Avoid using the microwave as it can make the sprouts soggy.
