Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
- Toss Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, combine the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Mix well so each sprout is evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow for even roasting.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the Brussels sprouts for 20-25 minutes. Stir halfway through cooking to promote even caramelization and prevent burning.
- Serve Warm: Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven once they are tender and caramelized. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For even cooking, try to choose Brussels sprouts of similar size or halve larger ones to match.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey for a different sweet profile.
- Adding a sprinkle of chili flakes before roasting can give a nice spicy kick.
- Be sure to stir halfway to ensure sprouts roast evenly and don’t burn.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
