Instructions
Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and halve the Brussels sprouts, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Season the sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Prepare the balsamic glaze: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a glaze (about 5 minutes).
