Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet Line with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • 1 Mixing bowl For combining ingredients.

Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 1 pound fresh brussel sprouts Look for firm, green heads without yellowing or blemishes.

Sauces and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup Can substitute with agave nectar or honey.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Adds richness to the dish.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For flavor enhancement.

Seasonings

  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • optional balsamic vinegar For a zesty twist.
  • optional lemon juice For added freshness.

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven

  • Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for roasting, as it allows for proper caramelization.

Prepare Brussel Sprouts

  • Rinse 1 pound of fresh brussel sprouts under cold water. Trim the ends and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. For even cooking, cut each sprout in half.

Mix Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved brussel sprouts with olive oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together until the sprouts are well-coated.

Arrange on Baking Sheet

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the brussel sprouts out in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space to roast evenly.

Roast Sprouts

  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through.

Check for Doneness

  • The brussel sprouts are ready when they are tender and have a nice, crispy exterior. If they need more time, feel free to roast them for an additional 5 minutes.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Once done, remove the sprouts from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve them warm, and enjoy the rich flavor of the maple glaze enhancing the natural nuttiness of the sprouts!
