Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the halved sprouts in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until glistening.
  3. Spread the sprouts on a baking sheet, cut-side down.
  4. Roast for 15–20 minutes without touching them, until the flat edges turn a deep, golden brown.
  5. While the sprouts roast, whisk the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven, drizzle the glaze over the sprouts, and toss quickly with a spatula.
  7. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes until the glaze is bubbling and tacky.
