Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 to 1½ pounds Brussels sprouts
Seasonings & Oil
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Glaze
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure a high temperature that will roast the Brussels sprouts until caramelized and tender.
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Clean and dry the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Slice each sprout in half to increase surface area for roasting and caramelization.
- Season the Sprouts: Toss the halved Brussels sprouts in a bowl or directly on a sheet pan with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast: Arrange the Brussels sprouts cut-side down on a sheet pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until they develop a golden-brown crust and are tender inside.
- Add the Maple Balsamic Glaze: Remove the roasted Brussels sprouts from the oven and immediately drizzle the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar over them. Toss gently to combine and coat the sprouts in the glaze.
- Serve: Optionally sprinkle flaky salt on top before serving to add a delightful crunch and enhance flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm Brussels sprouts for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
- Flaky salt is optional but recommended for an added finishing touch.
- You can roast on a parchment-lined sheet pan for easier cleanup.
- This recipe can be doubled to serve a larger crowd.
