Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts

November 19, 2024

Honey balsamic roasted Brussels sprouts and carrots is a vibrant, flavorful side dish that brings together the natural sweetness of roasted vegetables with the tangy richness of balsamic vinegar and the subtle sweetness of honey. It’s the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and slightly tangy flavors, making it a standout addition to any meal, whether it’s a simple weeknight dinner or a holiday feast.

The Brussels sprouts are halved, and the carrots are sliced into thick rounds or sticks to ensure even roasting. As they roast in the oven, the vegetables become beautifully caramelized, crisp on the edges, and tender inside. The roasting process enhances their natural sweetness and adds a slightly nutty depth to the Brussels sprouts, while the carrots become soft, sweet, and golden.

Midway through roasting, a mixture of honey and balsamic vinegar is drizzled over the vegetables. The honey helps the veggies caramelize even further, giving them a glossy, slightly sticky finish, while the balsamic adds acidity that balances the sweetness perfectly. A touch of olive oil, salt, pepper, and sometimes garlic or rosemary can be added for extra flavor.

This dish is not only delicious but also visually appealing. The bright orange carrots and vibrant green Brussels sprouts create a colorful presentation that looks as good as it tastes.

Honey balsamic roasted Brussels sprouts and carrots pair wonderfully with roasted meats like turkey, chicken, or pork, but they’re also fantastic alongside vegetarian dishes, grains, or pasta. They bring a comforting yet fresh flavor profile that complements rich, savory mains beautifully.

For drinks, pair this dish with a glass of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, or sparkling water with lemon to enhance its sweet and tangy notes.

Simple, wholesome, and bursting with flavor, this side dish is one that always impresses – easy enough for everyday meals yet special enough for any celebration.

    I don’t know… I usually hate Brussels sprouts. I tried this recipe because my friend said it was good, but I still didn’t like it. The honey was too sweet for me.

      I totally get you! Brussels sprouts can be hit or miss, especially with sweet stuff. Maybe try them with just olive oil and garlic next time!

    Why put honey? Isn’t that just for tea? I thought this was a savory dish.

    I tried this recipe, but my carrots got burnt. Maybe my oven runs hot? Not sure I want to try it again.

      I dunno, but my oven burns stuff too sometimes. I just keep an eye on it after 15 minutes.

      I tried makin this last night, but I used maple syrup instead of honey. It still turned out pretty good! But I think honey does sound better. 🤷‍♂️
