Ingredients
  

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with olive oil, then toss them gently to ensure each sprout is evenly coated. Season generously with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and sprinkle in the red pepper flakes if you prefer some heat.

      Create the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar until everything is well incorporated and smooth. This sauce will offer a delicious sweet and savory flavor to the Brussels sprouts.

        Combine and Roast: Pour the honey garlic mixture over the prepared Brussels sprouts. Toss everything together until the sprouts are thoroughly coated in the sauce. Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, ensuring they're not overcrowded for even roasting.

          Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and roast the Brussels sprouts for about 20-25 minutes. They should become beautifully caramelized and tender; remember to stir them halfway through to promote even cooking and browning.

            Garnish and Serve: Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted to perfection, take them out of the oven. Immediately sprinkle sesame seeds and finely chopped parsley over the top for a vibrant finish. They are best served warm straight from the oven!

                - Presentation Tips: Serve the Brussels sprouts in a decorative bowl, drizzling any remaining sauce from the baking sheet on top, and garnishing with additional sesame seeds for an appealing look.
