Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash and dry the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Trim off the ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Spread the coated Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down to encourage caramelization.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and browned, and the sprouts are tender when pierced with a fork. Toss them once halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes over the hot Brussels sprouts just before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly roasted Brussels sprouts!
