How to Make Apricot Glazed Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and halve or quarter them, depending on size.
- 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.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- 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).
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and pour the apricot glaze over the Brussels sprouts. Toss gently to coat.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
