Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts cut into half (if larger in size then cut into quarters)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon Salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Rinse the Brussels sprouts and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Remove the stem and discard the outer layer of leaves. Cut them in half, and if some are large, cut them into quarters.
- Combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil in a bowl. Toss the Brussels sprouts in this mixture to ensure an even coating.
- Place the Brussels sprouts cut side down on a baking tray. Arrange them in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
- While the Brussels sprouts are baking, mix balsamic vinegar and maple syrup in a small bowl to create a glaze.
- Remove the tray from the oven and gather the Brussels sprouts using a spatula.
- Drizzle half of the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup mixture over the Brussels sprouts. Mix well, spread them again, and bake for an additional 7-8 minutes.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are tender and beautifully caramelized, add the remaining balsamic mixture, toss to coat evenly, and serve.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the pan. Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer.
- If making a large batch, use an additional baking sheet instead of overcrowding.
- Consider lining your baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Garnish with nuts like pistachios or walnuts and dried cranberries to give a festive look.
