I’m still on a brussel sprouts kick. Last week I had them four times! I think that may have doubled my lifetime intake! I had some honey and sesame seed crusted brussel sprouts at a local restaurant and it kind of blew my mind. They were so awesome, I knew I had to try to recreate them at home. After a few tries, I figured it out and it’s spectacular.

A step beyond simply coating them in olive oil and salt, these barely take more effort. Simply combine equal portions honey and olive oil and coat the sprouts. Sprinkle a little salt over top and pop them in the oven for about 20 minutes.

The sweetness from the honey and the texture of the sesame seeds is like a little piece of heaven. I found myself trying not to fight over the last morsel, they were that good.
