FAQs
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Roast the Brussels sprouts and whisk the honey balsamic glaze separately. Reheat the sprouts and toss with the glaze just before serving to maintain crispness.
Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts?
For best texture, use fresh Brussels sprouts. If using frozen, thaw, pat dry, and proceed as directed, but expect a slightly softer result.
