Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

Ingredients
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 lb. Brussels sprouts, halved
Sauce
- 1/3 cup raw honey or pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced or pressed
- Sea salt or flaky salt, to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and peel away any rough or damaged outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half and place them into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix the glaze: Add the honey (or maple syrup), olive oil (or avocado oil), apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the Brussels sprouts. Toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is well coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange and roast: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they become tender and caramelized with crisp edges. Toss the sprouts once halfway through baking for even cooking and browning.
- Serve and store: Enjoy the honey garlic Brussels sprouts immediately while hot. Alternatively, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For best taste and texture when reheating leftovers, use an air fryer for a few minutes to re-crisp them.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor impact.
- Maple syrup can be substituted for honey for a vegan version.
- Adjust salt and pepper to your preference.
- Roasting times may vary slightly depending on your oven and the size of the Brussels sprouts.
- Reheating in the air fryer helps restore the crispiness lost in the fridge.
