Ingredients
- Brussels sprouts
- Maple syrup
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to create the perfect environment for roasting.
- Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts to ensure they cook evenly and develop that wonderful caramelization.
- Toss together the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper until they are well coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they have space to roast without steaming.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and beautifully caramelized.
- Serve warm as a side dish, and watch them disappear before your eyes!
Notes
Ensure Brussels sprouts are completely dry before tossing with oil and syrup; moisture can prevent caramelization. For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or balsamic vinegar.
