Ingredients for Apricot Glazed Roasted Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Dried Dill
  • Kosher Salt
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • Apricot Jam
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Lemon Zest

How to Make Apricot Glazed Roasted Brussels Sprouts

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and halve or quarter them, depending on size.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup apricot preserves, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and pour the apricot glaze over the Brussels sprouts. Toss gently to coat.
  8. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
