Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh Brussels sprouts
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roasting at a high temperature is key to achieving those perfectly crispy edges without overcooking the inside.
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut the sprouts in half for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts with the maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until all the sprouts are evenly coated.
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting, which prevents crispiness.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway through to ensure even browning.
Once the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and caramelized, remove them from the oven and serve immediately. They’re best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven.
