Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Maple Orange Glaze
This dish features roasted Brussels sprouts with a sweet and savory maple orange glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, make the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, orange juice, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.
- Pour the glaze over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy Brussels sprouts, roast them for a few minutes longer.
- You can also add other vegetables to the baking sheet, such as carrots, parsnips, or sweet potatoes.
- If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can use another type of mustard, such as yellow mustard or whole grain mustard.
- If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the red pepper flakes.
