# Ingredients:

→ Main Stars

01 - 1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved or quartered

→ The Honey Glaze Crew

04 - 2 tbsp honey
05 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
06 - 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

07 - 1 tsp garlic powder
08 - 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
09 - 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
10 - 1/4 tsp black pepper (or to taste)

# Instructions:

01 - First things first, get those Brussels sprouts ready! I always start by trimming the woody ends and removing any sad, outer leaves. Then, depending on their size, I either halve them or quarter them. You want them roughly uniform so they cook evenly, you know? While I’m doing that, I roughly chop the turkey ham into bite-sized pieces. I swear, the smell of fresh sprouts and that slight saltiness from the ham already gets me excited. Don't forget to preheat your oven to a nice hot 400°F (200°C) – a hot oven is key for crispy sprouts!
02 - Now for the fun part! Grab a large bowl, big enough for all your sprouts and ham. Toss them in with a good drizzle of olive oil, then sprinkle generously with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Get in there with your hands, really coat everything well. This is where I sometimes make a mess, honestly, but it’s worth it for even seasoning. Make sure every sprout and piece of ham gets some love. This step is crucial for building those delicious layers of flavor, so don't rush it!
03 - In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. This is where the magic happens, folks! You'll get this beautiful, slightly tangy, sweet mixture. I always give it a little taste test, just to make sure it's perfectly balanced. If you're feeling fancy, a tiny pinch of red pepper flakes could go in here too for a subtle kick, though I usually keep it mild for broader appeal. This glaze is what makes these Honey Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Turkey Ham so irresistible.
04 - Spread your seasoned Brussels sprouts and turkey ham in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Don't overcrowd the pan, or they'll steam instead of roast, and nobody wants soggy sprouts! I learned that the hard way, trust me. Pop them into your preheated oven for about 15 minutes. You want them to start getting tender and a little browned before the glaze goes on. The kitchen will start smelling amazing around now, trust me on that one!
05 - After 15 minutes, pull the baking sheet out. Drizzle the honey glaze all over the partially roasted sprouts and ham. Give everything a good toss right on the sheet to ensure every piece is coated in that sticky, sweet goodness. Then, back into the oven they go for another 10-15 minutes, or until the sprouts are deeply caramelized, tender-crisp, and the turkey ham is nice and crispy. Keep an eye on them, as honey can burn if left too long. This is where the Honey Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Turkey Ham really develop their incredible flavor and texture.
06 - Once they're out of the oven, they'll be sizzling and smelling absolutely divine. I usually let them cool for just a minute or two on the pan before transferring them to a serving dish. Sometimes I sprinkle a little fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color, but that's totally optional. They're fantastic straight from the pan, honestly. The crispy edges, the savory ham, the sweet and tangy glaze – it’s a symphony of flavors and textures that always makes me smile. Enjoy your amazing Honey Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Turkey Ham!

# Notes:

01 - Don't overcrowd your baking sheet; sprouts need space to get truly crispy.
02 - The honey glaze can burn quickly in the last few minutes, so keep a close eye on your oven!
03 - Out of apple cider vinegar? White wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice can work in a pinch for the glaze.
04 - Sprinkle with fresh parsley after roasting for a pop of color and freshness.
