Ingredients for Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Honey

8 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. kosher salt (plus 1 tsp. reserved)
2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper (plus 1/2 tsp. reserved)
3/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp. packed light brown sugar
2 tsp. honey
1 bay leaf
Shaved pecorino- romano or parmesan cheese, for topping

Preheat oven to 400.

Combine the garlic and olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly golden crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Remove from the heat, transfer the garlic to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.

Season the garlic with salt. Reserve the garlic oil.

Toss the brussels sprouts with the reserved garlic oil on a baking sheet and spread in an even layer; season with salt and pepper. Roast until the brussels sprouts are tender and slightly charred, 30 to 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, brown sugar, honey and bay leaf in a saucepan and whisk until combined. Simmer over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, until slightly syrupy, 10 to 12 minutes.

Remove from the heat; let cool until thick and glossy, about 6 minutes.

This recipe can be made up to 2 hours ahead.
