Ingredients
- 8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- Freshly ground pepper
- 3/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 bay leaf
- Shaved pecorino romano or parmesan cheese, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the garlic and olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly golden and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat; transfer the garlic to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon and season with salt. Reserve the garlic oil.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts with the reserved garlic oil on a baking sheet and spread in an even layer; season with salt and pepper. Roast until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly charred, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, brown sugar, honey and bay leaf in the saucepan and whisk until combined. Simmer over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, until slightly syrupy, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat; let cool until thick and glossy, about 6 minutes. Remove the bay leaf.
- Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a platter; spoon the vinegar-honey syrup on top and sprinkle with the fried garlic and shaved cheese just before serving. (The Brussels sprouts can be made up to 2 hours ahead. Serve at room temperature.)

I’ve made this every year for Thanksgiving (and some other lucky times) since I found this recipe 4 or 5 years ago. Its worth the effort. I’ve periodically had the glaze take a long time to thicken. (Or maybe 12 minutes is just a long time at the stove). Try this!
This recipe is AMAZING! I highly recommend it. The first time I made it, I couldn’t find white balsamic so I used regular and it tastes incredible as well! You may just need to adjust the sugar and honey to balance the tanginess. I love, love, love this recipe!!!!!!!
Delicious !!
Our favorite way to prepare brussels sprouts. They taste good as leftovers.
This is awesome! This recipe intrigued me as I had a similar dish at a restaurant we frequent. I wouldn’t change a thing unless you want to adjust the garlic to your taste.
I wish there were a way to not star a recipe when you just have a question. So even stars are marked, please disregard them for this post. The recipe doesn’t show how many servings this will make and according to other recipes, this one uses a very large amount of sprouts. And I just cook for two. Thanks for a response
This recipe is so worth the effort. I received so many compliments…even from folks that normally do not like brussel sprouts. I hope you try this!
I love this dish!! Will make again and again!! The flavor is incredible and a real hit at girls night dinner.
