- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for optimal crispiness.
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any damaged leaves. Cut each sprout in half for even roasting.

- Create the Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together maple syrup and balsamic vinegar until combined.
- Roast: Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle half of the maple glaze over them and place in the oven.
- Finish Cooking: Roast for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through. Drizzle remaining glaze during the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor.
- Serve Warm: Transfer to serving plates and enjoy!
