SWEET-AND-SOUR BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Set 2 baking sheets in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss 2 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved), 2 red onions (cut into wedges), 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Roast, cut-sides down, on the hot baking sheets, switching the pans halfway through, until tender and browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Meanwhile, simmer 1/2 cup white wine vinegar, 1/4 cup golden raisins, 2 tablespoons honey and 1/2 sliced red jalapeño (seeded for less heat) in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until syrupy, about 8 minutes. Drizzle over the vegetables.
