How to Make Maple Balsamic Brussels Sprouts 

Preheat the oven. Set the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Brussels sprouts. Trim the ends and cut each Brussels sprout in half.

Season the sprouts. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Arrange on the baking sheet. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer, cut side down, to ensure they roast evenly.

Roast. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Serve. Enjoy warm as a side dish or mix into grain bowls, salads, or pasta dishes.

Helpful Tips 

• Place them cut side down for the best caramelization and crispy edges.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan. Spacing them out ensures they roast instead of steaming.
• Toss halfway through cooking for even browning.
• Use high heat. Roasting at 425°F helps develop deep flavor and crisp texture.
• Finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt for extra flavor just before serving.

Variations 

• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a little heat.
• Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle with toasted almonds, pecans, or walnuts before serving.
• Cheesy Finish: Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta after roasting.
• Garlic Lovers: Toss in minced garlic or garlic powder for extra savory depth.

Common FAQs 

Can I make these Brussels sprouts in an air fryer?

Yes! To air-fry, set your air fryer to 375°F and cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. This method makes them extra crispy!

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts?

You can, but fresh Brussels sprouts will roast better. If using frozen, thaw them first and pat them dry to remove excess moisture before roasting.

How do I store and reheat leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F for 5-10 minutes or in a skillet to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
