If you’ve ever been unsure about Brussels sprouts, this recipe might just change your mind. These Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts are roasted until golden and crisp, then finished with a tangy-sweet glaze made with Just Bee Honeyand balsamic vinegar—simple, satisfying, and full of flavour.

You can use any honey from our range, but we recommend Vitality Honey for this one. Its zesty lemon notes bring a bright lift to the rich balsamic glaze, creating a lovely balance of sweet, sharp and savoury. It’s a delicious side for Sunday lunch, festive dinners, or as a wholesome addition to your weekday meals.

Ingredients

 (serves 4)

• 500g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 1½ tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the glaze:

• 2 tablespoons Just Bee Honey (we love Vitality Honey for its lemony zing)
• 1½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for depth)

To serve (optional):

• Toasted chopped walnuts or pecans
• Shavings of parmesan
• Extra drizzle of honey

Method

1. Preheat the Oven:

Heat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

2. Prepare the Sprouts:

Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt and pepper, then spread them out in a single layer on the tray—cut side down for extra caramelisation.

3. Roast:

Roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crisp on the edges.

4. Make the Glaze:

While the sprouts are roasting, stir together the honey, balsamic vinegar and mustard (if using) in a small bowl until well combined.

5. Glaze and Finish:

Once the sprouts are cooked, remove from the oven and drizzle over the honey balsamic mixture while they’re still hot. Toss gently to coat.

6. Serve:

Serve warm, garnished with toasted nuts, parmesan or an extra drizzle of Just Bee Honey, if you fancy.

These Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts are beautifully crisp, tangy and sweet—with the citrusy lift of Vitality Honeymaking them feel that little bit fresher and brighter.

A delicious twist on a classic side, and sure to win over even the sprout-sceptics.
