Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender and lightly browned. Make sure to stir them halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, make the balsamic glaze by combining the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced and thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the Brussels sprouts are done, drizzle the balsamic glaze over them and toss to coat. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious combination of sweet and tangy flavors.
This Thanksgiving Brussels sprouts recipe is not only easy to make, but it also adds a unique and flavorful side dish to your holiday feast. The balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweetness and elevates the sprouts to a whole new level. Trust us, even those who claim to hate Brussels sprouts won't be able to resist this dish. Give it a try and watch them disappear off the plate in no time!
