Description
A deliciously comforting side dish featuring roasted Brussels sprouts glazed with a sweet orange maple sauce and topped with cranberries and nuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup toasted pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet cut side down and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While the sprouts roast, combine maple syrup, orange juice, orange zest, Dijon mustard, melted butter, and minced garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk until thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, transfer to a serving dish and drizzle with the orange maple glaze. Top with dried cranberries and nuts if using. Serve warm.
Notes
For best results, choose fresh Brussels sprouts and allow them to roast until crispy. Adjust sweetness with more maple syrup if desired.
