# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • The high heat roasting method transforms the sprouts, giving them a crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender.
  • The balance of sweet honey and tangy vinegar creates a sophisticated flavor that feels like a restaurant quality side dish.
02 -
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet, or the sprouts will steam in their own moisture instead of roasting.
  • Listen for the sizzle to know when the balsamic glaze is caramelizing properly.
03 -
  • Buying sprouts on the stalk ensures the freshest flavor and keeps them firm longer.
  • Let the baking sheet cool slightly before removing the parchment to avoid tearing.
