I know Brussels sprouts are usually not on the list of popular vegetables, but that will change when you try this recipe. Roasted and then tossed in maple brown butter, they are the perfect combination of nutty and sweet.
Ingredients
- Brussels sprouts
- Olive Oil
- Pure Maple Syrup
- Butter
- Salt
- Freshly Ground Pepper
How To Make Maple Brussels Sprouts
- Coat brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Drizzle remaining olive oil on baking sheet.
- Place oil coated baking sheet into 425 F oven for 5 minutes.
- Pour sprouts onto hot baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, until fork tender.
- Flip a few times during the roasting process. A dark crust will form on them.
- Melt butter in a saucepan, and cook until it begins to foam and turn a light golden brown. Watch carefully.
- Remove browned butter from heat and add in the maple syrup. Stir to combine.
- Put roasted brussels sprouts in a bowl and drizzle with maple butter. Stir to coat.
- Serve immediately.
Tips and Tricks
- Only roast Brussels sprouts until they are fork tender. Overcooking them can cause them to turn gray and the taste becomes rather strong.

I will be trying this recipe. I have been making Brussels sprouts with maple syrup since the 90s when the Culinary Institute of America shared a recipe. I only ever bake or saute. The flavor of the butter added sounds fabulous!
