Equipment
- 1 baking tray
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved (about 15 large)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Optional toppings: crispy bacon and/or Candied Maple Walnuts
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts (quarter large ones).
- Toss: In a large bowl, combine Brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out cut-side down on the baking sheet — don’t crowd them or they’ll steam instead of crisp.
- Roast: Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Glaze: Drizzle maple syrup and balsamic vinegar over the roasted sprouts. Toss to coat, then roast for another 5 minutes, until caramelized and glossy.
- Finish: Serve warm. Add crispy bacon, candied walnuts, or a sprinkle of Parmesan if you want to get fancy.
