# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The high heat roasting transforms sprouts from bitter into something almost candy like with crispy edges
- The balsamic glaze takes literally minutes but makes everything feel fancy and restaurant worthy
02 -
- Crowding the pan is the fastest way to end up with steamed instead of roasted sprouts, so give them space
- The glaze thickens fast once it starts reducing, so do not walk away from the stove
03 -
- Buy sprouts that feel heavy for their size and have tight leaves
- Let them sit for a couple minutes after roasting before glazing for the crispest texture
