Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to trim the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half for even roasting.
- Use a baking sheet with a rim to prevent the balsamic reduction from spilling over.
- Keep an eye on the Brussels sprouts while they are roasting to prevent them from burning.
Cooking Process:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4. Roast the Brussels sprouts for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly browned.
5. While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, make the balsamic reduction. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, and garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and reduced by half.
