Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds of Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup walnuts roughly chopped
- Optional: Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water, trim off the stem ends, and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.
- Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don't overlap.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan halfway through roasting to ensure even browning.
- Prepare the Maple Balsamic Glaze: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, combine the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until it thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Toast the Walnuts: In a small skillet, toast the chopped walnuts over medium heat until they are golden and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Combine and Serve: Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle them generously with the maple balsamic glaze, then sprinkle the toasted walnuts over the top.
- Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired.
