These easy and simple Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts are the perfect side dish for the holidays.
The sweet flavor of the maple syrup compliment the earthy taste of the roasted Brussels sprouts nicely.
It gives them a complex and satisfying taste that even those who don’t like Brussels sprouts can’t deny.
The key to great Brussels sprout is how they are prepared.
How many have had mushy and bitter cooked or steamed Brussels sprout?
That was me too, so I avoided them for years, just because of that experience.
But then I got to be thinking, what if I bake them with real maple syrup?
And that is how I came up with this simple and easy recipe!
This recipe is easy to prep, uses only a few ingredients, and it bakes up in as little as 30 to 40 minutes!
You will love the caramelized maple syrup on top of the baked crisp golden brown Brussels sprouts.
Ingredients needed for these Brussels sprouts
- Brussels Sprouts – Brussels sprouts are a leafy green vegetable that resemble a miniature cabbage. These edible buds are closely related to broccoli, cabbage, kale, and kohlrabi.
- Oil – I used an avocado oil in this recipe, I like the buttery and mild flavor that this oil gives to the sprouts.
- Maple Syrup – Only use real maple syrup for this recipe. The maple syrup gives a slight maple, sweet caramel and vanilla flavor that caramelizes when baked.
- Seasonings – Onion powder, salt, and pepper add just a bit more flavor.
- Minced Garlic – The mild garlic flavor will spread throughout the dish.
How to make these Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Clean the Brussels sprouts, cut the stems off, slice in half, and place them into a mixing bowl.
Add the oil, maple syrup, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
Stir to coat all the Brussels sprouts.
Pour the sprouts onto the baking sheet and spread them out evenly.
Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
After 15 minutes, stir the sprouts and return to the oven for another 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven when the sprouts are slightly browned and tender.
Serve immediately, as a side dish for any meal.
