  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a large baking sheet in the oven.
  2. Trim the tough stem ends from the Brussels sprouts and halve them. Cut carrots on a diagonal into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  3. Pat the vegetables very dry with a kitchen towel to remove moisture.
  4. Whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, and herbs to make the glaze.
  5. Add the Brussels sprouts and carrots to the glaze and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spread the vegetables in a single layer.
  7. Roast for 15 minutes without stirring, then stir or flip and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  8. Optional: Melt butter and drizzle it over the vegetables for added richness.
  9. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish and sprinkle with nuts, cranberries, and garnish with extra herbs.
  10. Serve warm as a side dish for various meals.
