How to Make Savory Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Creamy Boursin & Drizzle of Hot Honey

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
3. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the edges are crisp and caramelized and the centers are tender.
4. While the sprouts roast, prepare the hot honey drizzle by combining the honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
5. Once the Brussels sprouts are done, transfer them to a serving dish. Dollop the creamy Boursin cheese evenly over the warm sprouts so it starts to melt slightly.
6. Drizzle the hot honey mixture generously over the sprouts and Boursin. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose small to medium Brussels sprouts for more even cooking and better caramelization.
• Make sure the sprouts are dry before tossing in oil to avoid steaming and ensure crispiness.
• Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the honey drizzle to suit your spice preference.
• For extra flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
• If you prefer, use goat cheese or cream cheese as a substitute for Boursin.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover roasted Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the Boursin cheese and hot honey drizzle separate if possible to maintain freshness.

To reheat, warm the sprouts in a 350°F oven for about 8-10 minutes until heated through and crisp again. Add fresh Boursin and drizzle just before serving to enjoy that creamy, spicy contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

While fresh Brussels sprouts are best for roasting to achieve crispy edges, you can use frozen sprouts if needed. Just thaw and pat them dry thoroughly before tossing with oil and seasoning to reduce moisture and prevent sogginess.

What can I substitute for Boursin cheese?

If you don’t have Boursin, creamy goat cheese, herbed cream cheese, or ricotta mixed with garlic and herbs can work well as alternatives to provide a similarly rich and flavorful topping.

How spicy is the hot honey drizzle?

The heat level depends on the hot sauce you choose. Start with a mild to medium hot sauce and adjust the amount to your preference. The honey balances out the heat with sweetness, creating a gentle spicy kick.

Can I make this recipe vegan or dairy-free?

To make this dish vegan, substitute the Boursin cheese with a plant-based creamy spread and use agave syrup or maple syrup instead of honey. Make sure your hot sauce is also vegan-friendly.
