Ingredients:

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (or quartered if large)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: Red pepper flakes for a touch of spice

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned, flipping halfway through.
5. While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the honey glaze. In a small saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute.
6. Stir in the honey and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze has slightly thickened.
7. Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl.
8. Pour the honey glaze over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat evenly. If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips and Variations:

For extra crispy Brussels sprouts, make sure they are dry before roasting. You can pat them dry with paper towels. Feel free to add other vegetables to the roasting pan, such as chopped carrots or onions. If you prefer a richer flavor, you can use butter instead of olive oil. For a vegan version, substitute maple syrup or agave nectar for the honey.
