# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The glaze creates a sticky, caramelized coat that makes Brussels sprouts taste nothing like that mushy cafeteria version you might remember.
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes with mostly pantry staples, so it works for weeknight dinners or dinner parties.
  • Sweet, tangy, and savory all at once—the kind of side dish that steals the show.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the pan—if your Brussels sprouts are piled on top of each other, they'll steam instead of roast, and you'll lose all that caramelization magic.
  • The glaze will be thin before roasting, but it thickens and concentrates in the heat, so resist the urge to add more honey or oil.
03 -
  • Make the glaze ahead of time—it actually tastes better after the flavors have mingled for an hour, so you can prep the night before and just toss and roast when you're ready.
  • If your Brussels sprouts are really large, cut them into quarters instead of halves so they roast faster and cook through evenly.
