Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash the Brussels sprouts, trim the bottom stems, and slice them in half vertically. Discard any yellowed outer leaves.

In a large bowl, toss the halved sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Spread the sprouts out on a large metal baking sheet. Ensure every sprout is turned flat, cut-side down against the pan. Do not overcrowd.

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the bottoms are deeply caramelized and crispy, and the centers are tender.

While roasting, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl.

Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately pour the honey garlic mixture over the hot sprouts directly on the baking sheet. Toss to coat well; the residual heat will thicken the glaze.

Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
