Honey Balsamic Glaze
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts.

- You can adjust honey and balsamic vinegar amounts to your desired sweetness and acidity balance.
- Fresh parsley adds a bright, fresh flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
- For an extra kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes before roasting.
