Roasting

Making the Glaze
  1. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the cranberries, honey, orange juice, and garlic powder.

Serving

Notes

For extra caramelization, try roasting the Brussels sprouts at a higher temperature for a shorter period. Use a mix of honey and maple syrup for different sweet flavors. Adding sliced almonds or walnuts before roasting will introduce a nice crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
