You can make this simple, sweet, and savory side dish using carrots and Brussels sprouts coated in a rich maple glaze. It is perfect for holiday meals or any weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts and the cut carrots.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and whisk in the maple syrup, olive oil, salt, pepper, and cinnamon until combined. This creates your best maple glaze for vegetables.
  4. Pour half of the maple glaze mixture over the vegetables and toss well to coat them evenly.
  5. Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to ensure proper roasting.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the remaining half of the glaze over the vegetables. Gently toss them on the pan.
  8. Return to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender-crisp and the carrots are tender. Watch closely during the last few minutes to prevent the maple syrup from burning.
  9. Serve this sweet and savory side dish immediately.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, you can roast the vegetables for 15 minutes before adding any glaze.
  • If your maple syrup is very thick, warm it slightly before mixing with the butter to ensure a smooth glaze consistency.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free.
