AIP Friendly Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Apple Cider Glaze
Caramelized, crispy-edged Brussels sprouts are already a crowd-pleaser, but a tangy apple cider glaze with warm ginger and turmeric takes them somewhere genuinely special. The cut sides go face-down on a hot sheet pan and roast at 425°F until deeply golden — that's where all the flavor lives. While the sprouts do their thing in the oven, the glaze reduces in just a few minutes into a glossy, slightly sweet coating that clings to every leaf. Ginger and turmeric are both well-regarded for their place in anti-inflammatory eating, and they show up here in a way that feels natural rather than medicinal. The whole ingredient list — olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, fresh herbs — stays cleanly within the boundaries of the autoimmune protocol without any substitutions or workarounds required. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a bright finish and a little color. This one serves four and works beautifully as a weeknight side or a dish you'd actually be proud to bring to the table.

4 servings
- 1.5 lb brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
For the glaze
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
Ingredient noteAIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined honey are accepted on the protocol; the ~3/4 teaspoon per serving here likely stays within that limited allowance. If you prefer to always avoid honey, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
For serving
- 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle with the salt. Toss until every cut surface is coated.

Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, cut-side down. Roast for 20–25 minutes, until the cut faces are deep golden brown and the outer leaves are crisp at the edges.
