Roasted Brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze turn crisp and caramelized in a hot oven, then get a drizzle of balsamic vinegar reduced with honey into a sweet, tangy glaze.
Getting Them Crisp
Halve the sprouts and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast cut-side down on a hot pan without crowding, so the cut sides caramelize deeply. Simmer the balsamic and honey until syrupy and drizzle it over just before serving.
Kosher Notes
This side is pareve. Brussels sprouts commonly harbor insects, so many kosher cooks use certified frozen sprouts or carefully check fresh ones. Use balsamic vinegar with a reliable hechsher, since it’s made from grapes.
Leftovers
Leftovers keep 3 days; reheat in the oven to keep them crisp.
Serving Ideas
These sprouts are a natural side for roast chicken, brisket or salmon, and they hold their own on a holiday table next to potato kugel. For a festive version, scatter toasted pecans or pomegranate seeds over the top just before serving. If you’re cooking for Shabbat lunch, roast them before Shabbat and serve them at room temperature; the glaze keeps them flavorful even when they’re not hot.
Variations
Swap the honey for maple syrup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat, or toss the roasted sprouts with sliced shallots that roast alongside them. Pre-made balsamic glaze also works if you’re short on time.
