Make perfectly caramelized Brussels sprouts with this simple, sweet, and savory sticky glaze. This recipe uses common pantry ingredients to create a glossy, flavorful coating perfect for roasting or air frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes until fully combined. This is your sticky Brussels sprouts glaze.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with the olive oil until lightly coated.
  4. Place the sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the sprouts from the oven. Brush or drizzle half of the prepared glaze over the sprouts, tossing gently on the pan to coat.
  7. Return the sprouts to the oven and roast for another 8 to 10 minutes.
  8. Remove again, brush with the remaining glaze, and roast for a final 3 to 5 minutes until the sprouts are tender and the glaze is thick and glossy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Serve immediately as a savory sweet side dish.

Notes

  • For an air fryer sticky sprouts preparation, cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, tossing with half the glaze after 8 minutes, and then returning for 3 to 5 minutes until done.
  • If your honey is very thick, warm the glaze mixture slightly before mixing to ensure smooth incorporation.
  • To achieve a thicker, wing sauce style Brussels sprouts coating, reduce the glaze mixture slightly in a saucepan over medium heat before tossing with the cooked sprouts.
