——Ingredients——

2 pounds Brussels sprouts (wash, trim and cut in half)

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic minced

2 tablespoons calabrian chili pepper (I used Trader Joe’s)

1 teaspoon paprika

1/4 cup honey

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place an empty baking sheet in the oven while it’s preheating.

2. Wash, Pat dry, trim, then cut the Brussels sprouts in half. Transfer to a bowl. Season with 1/4 cup of the olive oil along with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until all the brussels sprouts are evenly coated.

3. Once the baking sheet is hot, carefully remove from oven and set on a heatproof surface. Add the Brussels sprouts and place them flat side down on the tray.

4. Roast the brussels sprouts in the oven for 25-30 minutes until crispy.

5. While the Brussels sprouts are roasting make the glaze.

6. In a saucepan over medium-low melt the butter, add in the minced garlic and calabrian chili peppers, cook for 1 minute. Next add in the paprika and stir. Lastly add in the honey, stir and let cook for about 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.

7. Once the sprouts come out of the oven, spoon the glaze over the sprouts and toss until all coated in the glaze. Serve and enjoy!
