DESCRIPTION

These irresistible maple balsamic Brussels sprouts are quick and easy to make with just 5 simple ingredients. They are ready in just 20 minutes, and make an amazing flavorful side dish. The sprouts are roasted with sweet caramelized notes and a crispy texture. They are drizzled and tossed with a sweet and tangy glaze made of maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. Serve it as part of a holiday spread alongside classics like a vegan roast, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and more.

INGREDIENTS
  

  • 24 ounces brussel sprouts halved
  • 2 tablespoon avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Maple Balsamic Glaze

  • ½ cup ½ cup Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP or Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
  • ¼ cup Maple syrup

METHOD
 

  • Preheat oven at 475℉. On a lined baking sheet, coat the Brussel sprouts with avocado oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast in the oven at 475℉ for 20 minutes till crispy.
  • In the mean time, place balsamic vinegar and maple syrup into a sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer. Stir occasionally for about 15 to 20 minutes until the vinegar thickens. It can take a little bit longer depending on your stove.
    Note: This can be prepared in advance and ready to use when needed.
  • Once it can coat the back of a spoon, then remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Transfer roasted Brussel sprouts into a serving dish and generously drizzle with maple balsamic glaze and toss till all sprouts are evenly coated.

NOTES

  • Even halves: Cut the Brussels sprouts into similar-sized pieces for even roasting.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Give the sprouts space on the baking sheet to ensure they roast, not steam.
  • Watch the glaze: Stir the glaze occasionally and keep it over low heat to prevent burning.
  • High-heat roasting: Roasting the Brussels sprouts at a high heat ensures a crispy exterior and prevents them from steaming.
  • Cool the glaze: Let the glaze cool and slightly thicken before tossing it with the Brussels sprouts.
  • Use quality ingredients: Good quality balsamic vinegar and maple syrup make a huge difference. Opt for the best brands you can find!
