Honey Balsamic Smoked Brussels Sprouts Instructions

Slice bottom of Brussels off and then cut in half, place in a bowl.
In a small pan combine all other ingredients except salt and pepper and heat only until honey has melted.
Pour over Brussels Sprouts and toss, allowing to sit for 5 minutes stirring occasionally to evenly coat.
Using a slotted spoon, scoop the brussels sprouts on to baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Give a couple good cracks of black pepper and sea salt.
Save the extra dressing, it is too good to throw out. I used it to drizzle a bit more on the cooked brussels and also on salads for the days following making this recipe.

Cooking Instructions

Heat Traeger to 375, once heated, place baking sheet in the center and let the brussels sprouts smoke starting at 20 minutes. Check depending on size of brussels sprouts , they might be done. My Brussel Sprouts were a bit bigger so I kept my eye on them and removed them at 30 minutes. The amount of time you leave your brussels sprouts on the smoker is personal preference and how crispy you like your brussels sprouts to be. You will have some crisping of the balsamic glaze left on the sheet pan. No worries, this might be one of the yummiest parts to flake off and enjoy with the brussels.
You can also make this recipe even if you don’t have a smoker. Heat oven to 375 and follow the same directions.
