Maple Balsamic Brussels Sprouts (Easy!)
Description
This recipe features Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved, coated in a dressing of balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, white miso, and garlic powder. The combination produces a glazy, flavorful coating that caramelizes during roasting. Roasting at 400°F for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, yields tender yet slightly crisp sprouts with a deepened sweetness and tang.
The flavor is a mix of the savory depth from the miso and garlic powder balanced with the tang from balsamic vinegar and sweetness of pure maple syrup. Optional additions like toasted pecans or dried cranberries add contrasting textures and nutty or fruity elements that complement the sprouts.
This dish serves well as a warm side, pairing nicely with roasted meats or plant-based mains. The sprouts can be served directly from the oven to retain their texture and glaze. This recipe references an update as of April 2025 and does not include optional toppings in nutritional estimates.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Brussels sprouts
- 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp. white miso
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Toppings (optional):
- dried cranberries or walnuts
- pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper or Silpat baking mat.
- Trim the ends off Brussels sprouts and slice lengthwise in half. Remove any damaged outer leaves. Gently rinse and pat dry.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, miso, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth. Add the Brussels sprouts and toss well to coat.
- Spread out the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the lined baking pan. (I drizzle any leftover marinade over the top.)
- Roast for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and gently stir. Return to oven and roast for 10-15 minutes more, or until desired tenderness.
- Top with dried cranberries and pecans before serving if desired.
Notes
- Nutritional estimates exclude optional pecan and cranberry toppings.
- Roast sprouts until caramelized but still tender for best texture.
- This recipe was originally published November 2017 and updated in April 2025.
