Honey Butter Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Sharing is caring!

These honey butter-roasted Brussels sprouts are AMAZING. Roast in the oven until they are golden brown and then topped with homemade honey butter and broiled in the oven for a few minutes. They would make a great addition to your dinner menu or your holiday meal.

I love roasted and grilled vegetables.

These Brussels sprouts, little baby cabbages as I like to call them, are full of amazing flavor. After roasting them in the oven and getting toasty and golden brown, I top them with my homemade honey butter. It's the perfect balance of flavors and the perfect side dish to any meal.

Top the roasted veggies with honey butter. Put them back in the oven under the broiler for about 3 minutes to melt the butter and toast the leaves a little more.

This will become your new favorite way to enjoy this leafy green veggie.

How to Make Honey Butter Brussels Sprouts

To start, you are going to need to purchase fresh Brussels sprouts. This week, I found these small ones on the last-chance rack at Kroger. I got two huge bags for only .99 making this meal a very inexpensive one.

That rack at Kroger is my favorite. Many vegetables are only .99!

If you have larger Brussels sprouts, you will want to take off the outer leaves and cut them in half. But, since these were on the smaller side, I left them whole.

Toss Brussels sprouts in a large bowl with some olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Place them on a rimmed baking sheet covered with parchment paper, and cut side down in a 400-degree preheated oven for 25 minutes. Make sure to place them in an even layer and don't crowd them.

Be sure to give the roasted Brussels sprouts a toss occasionally. You can also cook these on the stovetop over medium heat in a cast iron skillet instead of in the oven. I prefer the oven method myself.

Once they are done cooking, remove them from the oven and add a little bit of honey butter to the top of the Brussels sprouts.

To make the honey butter, mix the following ingredients in a small bowl —

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter (softened)
  • 5 tablespoons honey (you can also use maple syrup if you would like)
  • 1 pinch kosher salt (optional, add if using unsalted butter)

I keep this butter in the fridge all the time. I use it on everything and it is SO good.

Now, place the sheet pan back in the oven for 3-5 minutes under the broiler. When it is done, you have the most amazing Brussels sprouts ever.

As I said, these are the best-tasting Brussels sprouts you will ever make. You can also make Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts. They are just as good as these.

Put these on the dinner table with your favorite protein (mine is steak) and enjoy a delicious meal made for a king (or Queen). These would even make a great addition to your Thanksgiving dinner.

Additional Toppings

You can even add some red pepper flakes and balsamic vinegar to the top to add some spice.

Another great topping option is Parmesan Cheese and crispy bacon.

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat when ready to eat. These would be great for doing meal prep for the week also.
