Honey-baked Brussels sprouts are an easy and nutritious side dish. It’s the perfect accompaniment to any meal!
THE BEST BRUSSEL SPROUTS
My favorite thing about Brussel sprouts is that they can be cooked with only a few simple ingredients like honey and balsamic vinegar.
They’re so cute and healthful as a side dish that you can’t go wrong.
The combination of honey and balsamic vinegar are a match made in heaven.
The vinegar’s sourness is countered by the honey’s sweetness.
Whether they’re used in a protein dish (such as balsamic honey chicken) or a vegetable dish (such as Brussels Sprouts), the flavors they bring to a dish are remarkable.

INGREDIENTS
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon tahini, optional
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 lb. (0.4 kg) Brussels sprouts
- 1 tablespoon Pompeian Organic Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Pompeian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
INSTRUCTIONS
- Trim the Brussels sprouts’ stems to prevent them from wilting. Slice them in two.
- If using tahini, mix it together with the honey and vinegar in the little bowl you’re going to use for this. Mix thoroughly with a whisk. Remove from consideration.
- Medium heat should be applied to a skillet. Garlic should be lightly browned when added to the olive oil. Add the Brussels sprouts, flat-side down, to the pan and cook until they are golden brown on the surface. Make sure the opposite side is cooked by flipping it over. Stir in the honey-balsamic mixture with the Brussels sprouts in the skillet. Serve soon after the mixture has thickened.
