- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). -
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts:
Trim the ends and remove any discolored outer leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half. -
Season the Brussels Sprouts:
Toss the Brussels sprouts in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. -
Roast the Brussels Sprouts:
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until golden-brown and crispy. -
Prepare the Balsamic Glaze:
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, combine balsamic vinegar and honey (or maple syrup) in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half and thickened into a glaze. -
Combine and Serve:
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately.
