Ingredients

• 300 grams Brussels sprouts
• 300 grams Baby carrots
• 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by trimming the ends off the Brussels sprouts and halving them. Rinse the Brussels sprouts and baby carrots under cold water.

Step 2

Set up a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Add the Brussels sprouts and baby carrots to the steamer and cover with a lid.

Step 3

Steam the vegetables for 10–12 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Remove them from the heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and emulsified.

Step 5

Transfer the steamed Brussels sprouts and carrots to a large serving bowl. Drizzle the tangy maple sauce over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.

Step 6

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
