Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved (455g)
- 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt, more or less to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, more or less to taste
Optional Maple Dijon Sauce
- 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, optional
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place halved Brussels in a large bowl and drizzle with 2-3 tablespoon olive oil. Carefully stir together. Then, sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper (more to taste) and stir again.
- Place Brussels on a baking sheet, flat cut side down in a single layer, making sure to leave space. Roast in oven for 18-22 minutes or until tender with golden brown edges.
- While baking, if desired, add sauce ingredients (3 tablespoon dijon mustard, 2 tablespoon each maple syrup and lemon juice (optional), 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon each onion and garlic powder) to the same large bowl from step 1 and whisk together. When Brussels are finished, add to the bowl and gently stir together. Serve warmed.
Notes
Top Tips:
- Dry Well! The more dry your Brussels are after washing, the crispier your outer leaves will get and the more caramelized your halves will be.
- Don't Overcook - one of the biggest complaints we get is mushy sprouts. You want your sprouts to almost be fork tender but still have a bite to them.
- Actually preheat - preheating typically takes 15-30 minutes to truly come to temperature depending on your oven. Allowing your vegetables to roast at the proper temperature from the start will make sure they are the perfect texture.
- Don't Overcrowd - When roasting, you should have one even layer of vegetables. Use two pans if needed, but make sure they have space!
