# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The honey creates these incredible sticky caramelized bits that make even sprout skeptics come back for seconds
- Its one of those effortless dishes that looks like you put way more thought into it than you actually did
02 -
- Overcrowding the pan is the fastest way to end up with steamed sprouts instead of roasted ones so use two pans if needed
- Wait until the very last second to add the honey or it will burn and turn bitter in the high heat
03 -
- Sprinkle everything with flaky sea salt right before serving for this amazing texture contrast
- Toast some pecans or walnuts separately and toss them in at the very end for extra crunch
