Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Brussels sprouts
- 300 grams Baby carrots
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables by trimming the ends off the Brussels sprouts and halving them. Rinse the Brussels sprouts and baby carrots under cold water.
Set up a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Add the Brussels sprouts and baby carrots to the steamer and cover with a lid.
Steam the vegetables for 10–12 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Remove them from the heat and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and emulsified.
Transfer the steamed Brussels sprouts and carrots to a large serving bowl. Drizzle the tangy maple sauce over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
