Ingredients

  • pounds (680g) Brussels sprouts
  • 2-3 tablespoons (28-45g) butter
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon (21g) honey
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Creole seasoning to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉ (205℃).
  • Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, remove dry or bruised leaves, and peel away loose outer leaves. Cut each one in half through the stem, and place in a large bowl.
  • In a medium skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until fragrant and golden brown, 4-5 minutes, being careful not burn it. Let it cool slightly.
  • In a small bowl, mix the browned butter, balsamic vinegar, and honey.
  • Sprinkle the sprouts with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning, followed by half of the balsamic honey mixture. Toss to coat.
  • Arrange them cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place them on the middle rack in the oven.
  • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes, stirring once or twice. Taste as you go, and add more of the dressing and seasonings as desired.
  • Serve immediately with the rest of the dressing on the side.

Notes

  • Salt to taste is personal. Start with ¾ teaspoon each of salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning, then adjust after tasting.
  • Please remember that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
