  • 1 lb (450 g) carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick diagonals or batons
  • 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
  • 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts (optional topping)
  • 2 tbsp dried cranberries or pomegranate arils (optional topping)
  • 12 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme or rosemary
  • Flaky sea salt, to finish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a large, heavy baking sheet inside.
  2. Trim the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Peel and slice the carrots on a diagonal.
  3. Pat the vegetables dry with towels to ensure crispiness.
  4. Whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, and chopped herbs in a bowl.
  5. Toss the dried Brussels sprouts and carrots in the bowl until coated with the glaze.
  6. Carefully spread the veggies on the preheated baking sheet in a single layer.
  7. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes without stirring, then flip the vegetables and continue roasting for another 10–15 minutes until tender and crispy.
  8. Melt the butter in a pan or bowl, then drizzle it over the vegetables for extra richness (optional).
  9. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish and sprinkle with toppings, if using.
  10. Serve warm as a side dish for your favorite meals.

Notes

Make sure to keep your veggies dry for crispiness. Leftover maple glaze can be used for grilled meats or salads.
