Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Maple Balsamic Glaze
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts to a crispy, golden finish.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Halve the Brussels sprouts and spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat them well. Season with garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper.
- Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until they are tender, crispy, and golden brown on the edges.
- Make the Balsamic Glaze: While the Brussels sprouts roast, combine balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, whisking frequently, and continue simmering until the glaze reduces by half and coats the back of a spoon.
- Toss Brussels Sprouts with Glaze: Once roasted, transfer the Brussels sprouts to a large mixing bowl. Pour the reduced balsamic glaze over them and toss gently until they are evenly coated with the flavorful glaze.
- Serve: Serve the glazed Brussels sprouts immediately for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure the Brussels sprouts are dry before tossing with olive oil.
- You can substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
- If you prefer a vegan version, ensure the soy sauce is vegan-friendly and use pure maple syrup.
- Adjust the glaze sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup to taste.
