Move over, green beans, Brussels sprouts are quickly becoming the favored green side dish! These are no ordinary Brussels sprouts, though. They’re crispy, sweet, tangy and tender. Most importantly, they’re roasted. As opposed to steaming, roasting the Brussels sprouts gives them a caramelized, crispy texture that pairs well with the balsamic vinegar and honey. A touch of olive oil, salt and pepper make these little veggies irresistible. Try something new this weekend and venture into the world of Crispy Honey Brussels Sprouts!
