Garlic Butter Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients

1 ½ – 1 ¾ pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

3 tablespoons butter

4-6 fresh garlic cloves, minced

3 – 4 teaspoons honey

⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more to taste)

3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper

Instructions

PREP:

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a piece of foil (sprayed with cooking spray.) Add the Brussels sprouts to a bowl and toss with the olive oil and a ½ teaspoon of salt and a big pinch of black pepper. Roast the Brussels sprouts for 18-20 minutes or until they crisp up, tossing about halfway through.

GARLIC HONEY BUTTER:

When the sprouts are about 5 minutes from being done, add the butter, garlic, honey, and cayenne to a microwave safe bowl. Zap the mixture for about 30 seconds – 1 minute or until the butter melts completely. Stir to combine. When the Brussels sprouts are done, toss them in the prepared garlic honey butter and sprinkled with parmesan cheese.

FINISH:

Toss to combine and pop them back into the oven for another 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. Serve warm!
