Honey Roasted Brussel Sprouts
I like brussel sprouts. They are my own personal mini cabbages, bite-sized with a bit of crunch and a bitter bite. Of course, I know not everyone likes brussels (for instance, five of the six people normally sitting around my dinner table). But, this is such a fun, colorful way to eat them. And a generous coating of honey makes them perfectly tasty. If you're one of those anti-brussel peeps, perhaps you'll consider trying them out this way. You might just discover they are as tasty as a snow day instead of a school day.
Ingredients
- 4 cups brussel sprouts
- 1 cup cranberries
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- orange zest
- 1/2 cup honey
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash brussel sprouts very well.
- Trim off the bottom stalk just a bit, ensuring any wilted brown spots are removed. Spread the brussel sprouts and cranberries across a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, cinnamon, and orande zest. Drizzle over the brussels & cranberries.
- Drizzle honey over the brussels & cranberries, too. Salt & pepper to taste.
- Roast in an oven preheated to 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes, stirring the brussel sprouts every 5 minutes or so.
- They're done when the outside of the brussel sprouts are golden and crispy.
- Enjoy!
