Cut Brussels sprouts down through the core to keep them together. For larger Brussels sprouts, cut them into quarters while keeping the core intact.

Place the Brussels sprouts onto a sheet pan.

Drizzle with olive oil, and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Bake in a hot oven at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes until browned, tossing them with clean hands halfway through.

While the Brussels sprouts are baking, prepare the sweet heat mixture by combining honey, cayenne pepper, and chopped rosemary in a bowl.

Strip the leaves off the rosemary stems and finely chop about a tablespoon of rosemary.

Once the Brussels sprouts are out of the oven, drizzle about a tablespoon of honey around the edge of a large bowl.

Add a couple of sprinkles of cayenne pepper to the honey mixture, adjusting for desired heat.

Add the baked Brussels sprouts to the honey and cayenne mixture and toss to coat evenly.

Return the coated Brussels sprouts to the sheet pan and bake for an additional 2 minutes to let the honey set.

Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining rosemary.
