Instructions

  1. Preheat your #[Oven] to ![425°F]. Trim the ends off the @[Brussels Sprouts] and halve them lengthwise. Pat them dry with a paper towel — this is key for getting crispy edges. In a large #[Mixing Bowl], toss the sprouts with @[Olive Oil], @[Kosher Salt], @[Black Pepper], and @[Garlic Powder] until evenly coated.
  2. Spread the @[Brussels Sprouts] in a single layer on a large #[Baking Sheet], cut-side down. Make sure they are not crowded — use two pans if needed. Roast for ~[20–25 minutes], flipping once halfway through, until the cut sides are deeply golden and the outer leaves are crispy and charred.
  3. While the sprouts roast, make the hot honey glaze. In a small #[Saucepan] over ^[low heat], combine the @[Honey], @[Butter], @[Red Pepper Flakes], @[Apple Cider Vinegar], and @[Dijon Mustard] (if using). Stir until the butter melts and everything is combined, about ~[2 minutes]. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Remove the @[Brussels Sprouts] from the #[Oven] and immediately drizzle the hot honey glaze over them. Toss gently on the pan to coat every sprout. Return to the oven for ~[2–3 more minutes] so the glaze caramelizes and clings to the sprouts.
  5. Transfer the glazed sprouts to a serving platter. Finish with a squeeze of fresh @[Lemon Juice] and a shower of freshly grated @[Parmesan Cheese] if desired. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
