Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Crispy, caramelized Brussels sprouts tossed in a balsamic maple glaze. This simple recipe makes the perfect healthy side dish for weeknights or holidays.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 pounds brussels sprouts
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, salt and pepper together in a small mixing bowl.
- Trim stems and remove any wilted outer leaves from brussels sprouts. Chop brussels sprouts in half and place in a bowl. Pour glaze over sprouts and toss to cover.
- Spread sprouts in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet. Make sure they’re in a single layer — you may need two baking sheets.
- Roast for about 30 minutes, stirring once halfway. They’re done when the brussels are tender on the inside with a golden brown and crisp outer layer.
- Remove from the oven. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.
- Even cooking: Try to cut the sprouts into even halves (or quarters for larger ones) so they roast at the same rate.
- Extra flavor: For a flavor boost, finish with a light drizzle of balsamic glaze or sprinkle of parmesan before serving.
