Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Freshly chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

      Melt the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook gently for about 1-2 minutes, just until fragrant, ensuring not to burn the garlic.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the garlic butter over the Brussels sprouts and toss well to combine. If using, stir in the balsamic vinegar and honey at this stage for added flavor.

          Roast: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and crispy on the outer leaves.

            Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm as a delectable side dish!
