Vera Wang's Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Vera Wang's Roasted Brussels Sprouts

1 3/4 lbs. Brussels sprouts
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. honey
Salt and pepper

Keep very small Brussels sprouts whole, halve others. Remove loose leaves and trim the bottom stem if browned. Place on a large rimmed baking sheet, toss olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Roast 20-25 minutes at 400° F, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and tender, about 20 – 25 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar with honey. Pour roasted Brussels sprouts into a serving bowl, drizzle balsamic mixture over, and toss. Serve warm.
