Ingredients
- Brussels sprouts
- 1 pound, trimmed and halved
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons
- Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet. This allows them to roast evenly and develop a nice caramelization.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar to create a glaze.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, remove them from the oven and drizzle the maple-balsamic glaze over them, tossing gently to coat evenly.
- Return the Brussels sprouts to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the glaze to set and intensify the flavors.
- Serve warm, with additional salt and pepper to taste if desired. For an extra touch, consider garnishing with chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the olive oil before roasting.
- Feel free to mix in other vegetables like carrots or sweet potatoes for added color and flavor.
