Pan-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Honey Glaze
Brussels sprouts are a great fall and winter vegetable, and this recipe is a simple way to cook them. The honey glaze adds a touch of sweetness and caramelization, making them a delicious side dish.
Brussels sprouts have been around for centuries, but they only recently became popular in the United States. In the early 1900s, they were mostly grown in Europe and Asia, and they were not widely available in American supermarkets. However, in the 1950s, American farmers began to grow Brussels sprouts, and they quickly became a popular side dish. Today, Brussels sprouts are a staple of the American Thanksgiving table.
