# Expert tips:
01 -
- The honey creates these incredible sticky, caramelized bits that make you wonder if youre still eating a vegetable
- They reheat beautifully for meal prep, though they rarely last that long in my house
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the enemy of crispy sprouts, so use two baking sheets if you need to
- The honey burns fast, so only add it after roasting, never before
03 -
- Buy Brussels sprouts still on the stalk if you can find them, they stay fresher longer
- Trim the stem ends just enough to remove any dry bits without losing leaves
