Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Walnuts (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow outer leaves. Slice each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.
Place the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly, then arrange them cut-side down on the baking sheet.
Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender, flipping them halfway through.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the walnut lemon vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and minced garlic until well combined.
Toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the walnut lemon vinaigrette over the top and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.
Gently toss to combine and garnish with chopped parsley, if using. Serve warm and enjoy!
