Make these simple maple roasted vegetables for a sweet and savory side dish that complements any Thanksgiving dinner. This recipe uses root vegetables and Brussels sprouts glazed with real maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 lb parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)

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 Brussels sprouts, carrots, parsnips, and butternut squash.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme, if using.
  4. Pour the maple mixture over the vegetables. Toss everything together until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
  5. Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for best roasting results.
  6. Roast for 25 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork and have caramelized edges.
  7. Serve immediately as a festive side dish for your holiday meal.

Notes

  • For a crunchier texture, add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts during the last 10 minutes of roasting.
  • If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the maple syrup to 3 tablespoons and add 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the liquid mixture.
  • You can prepare the vegetables (chopping and mixing with oil/seasoning) up to 4 hours ahead. Wait to add the maple syrup until just before roasting.
