Though this recipe calls for Brussels sprouts and carrots, the maple-olive-oil mixture is quite delicious drizzled over squash, sweet potatoes, or even green beans. Try making a big batch of the maple mixture and stashing it in the refrigerator: it will do triple duty as a salad dressing and a glaze for meat. If you do stick with Brussels sprouts and carrots, we recommend dishing up the side with a hefty pork chop and a glass of chilled white wine.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 12 ounces Brussels sprouts, halved

  • 8 ounces small carrots with tops, trimmed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F. Stir together olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add Brussels sprouts and carrots, and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven until caramelized and tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

    Maple-Roasted Vegetables
    Thanks to a drizzle of maple syrup, Brussels sprouts and carrots get beautifully caramelized in the oven. Apply this treatment to any roasted veg: the maple-flavored oil tastes great on sweet potatoes, too. Serve with pork, chicken, or as part of a grain bowl. Get the recipe: Maple-Roasted Vegetables.
