1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the garlic and olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat.
2
Gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly golden and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes.
3
Remove from the heat; transfer the garlic to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon and season with salt.
4
Reserve the garlic oil.
5
Toss the Brussels sprouts with the reserved garlic oil on a baking sheet and spread in an even layer; season with salt and pepper.
6
Roast until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly charred, 30 to 35 minutes.
7
Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, brown sugar, honey and bay leaf in the saucepan and whisk until combined.
8
Simmer over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, until slightly syrupy, 10 to 12 minutes.
9
Remove from the heat; let cool until thick and glossy, about 6 minutes.
10
Remove the bay leaf.
11
Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a platter; spoon the vinegar-honey syrup on top and sprinkle with the fried garlic and shaved cheese just before serving.
12
(The Brussels sprouts can be made up to 2 hours ahead.
13
Serve at room temperature.)

Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
