A cozy and flavorful side dish featuring caramelized Brussels sprouts with a sweet and tangy glaze of maple syrup and Dijon mustard. Perfect for autumn gatherings and festive celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, halved and trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: crumbled bacon or chopped nuts like pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming the ends and slicing them in half. If you have any larger sprouts, cut them into quarters for even cooking.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and 1 clove of minced garlic. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Place the Brussels sprouts into the bowl with the glaze. Toss until each piece is evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding—this helps them get that golden, caramelized finish.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through. They should be tender with crispy, golden edges.
  7. Optional: If you’re adding bacon or nuts, toss them onto the baking sheet for the last 7-10 minutes of roasting.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure crispy edges.’, ‘Roast at high heat (400°F) for proper caramelization.’, ‘Toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly in the glaze.’, ‘Check for doneness by ensuring the sprouts are fork-tender and golden brown.’, ‘For extra crispy edges, use the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.’]
