Greetings, foodies! Today, I am excited to share one of my favorite side dishes that always brings a burst of fresh flavors to the table. This recipe for Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Citrus Glaze is perfect for any occasion, from a casual weeknight dinner to a festive holiday feast. The combination of hearty Brussels sprouts and zesty citrus will leave your taste buds dancing with delight.

To create this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

• 500g Brussels sprouts (trimmed)
• 100ml orange juice
• 1 lemon, zested
• 30ml honey
• 45ml olive oil
• To taste

Ensure you have the following kitchen tools ready:

• baking sheet
• chef’s knife
• mixing bowl
• whisk

Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, lemon zest, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the citrus glaze. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.

Next, halve the Brussels sprouts and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle the citrus glaze over the Brussels sprouts, making sure they are evenly coated. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized.

Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle any remaining citrus glaze from the baking sheet over the sprouts for an extra burst of flavor. Serve warm and enjoy the vibrant mix of savory and sweet notes in each bite.
