# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Brussels sprouts finally become the star of the plate instead of the vegetable everyone pushes around.
  • The glaze caramelizes into crispy, sweet-and-tangy edges that taste nothing like typical roasted vegetables.
  • Takes less than 40 minutes from start to table, with most of that being hands-off oven time.
  • Works for weeknight dinners and fancy dinners alike because it looks and tastes intentional.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the pan or stir too much during roasting; the sprouts need direct contact with the hot sheet to brown properly and caramelize, not steam.
  • The glaze will continue to coat the sprouts as they cool, so the first time you make this, pull them out when they look just slightly underdone and they'll finish perfectly.
03 -
  • Make the glaze the night before and store it in the fridge; the flavors meld and deepen, and you'll have one less thing to do when you're cooking.
  • If you're cooking for a crowd, you can roast the sprouts ahead, then warm them gently in a low oven right before serving so they stay crispy.
