Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and dry the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Trim off the ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut the sprouts in half lengthwise.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Step 4
Add the Brussels sprouts to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Step 5
Spread the coated Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down to encourage caramelization.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and browned, and the sprouts are tender when pierced with a fork. Toss them once halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Step 7
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes over the hot Brussels sprouts just before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly roasted Brussels sprouts!
