Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 cup Toasted pecans (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts by slicing off the stem ends and removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer, cut side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the Brussels sprouts in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning.
While the sprouts are roasting, prepare the glaze by mixing maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl.
Remove the sprouts from the oven after 20 minutes and drizzle the glaze evenly over them. Toss gently to coat and return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.
Take the Brussels sprouts out of the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with toasted pecans for added crunch and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your sweet and savory Brussels sprouts!
