# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • The balance of sweet honey and tangy vinegar makes even skeptics ask for seconds.
  • It requires minimal prep but delivers a deep, complex flavor that feels fancy.
02 -
  • Resist the urge to overcrowd the pan, or the vegetables will steam in their own juice and stay soggy.
  • Keep an eye on them during the last five minutes because the high sugar content in the honey can burn quickly.
03 -
  • Buy sprouts that are tight and bright green for the freshest flavor.
  • If the sprouts are large, cut them into quarters instead of halves so they cook at the same rate.
