Maple Balsamic Brussels Sprouts (Easy!)
Maple Balsamic Brussels Sprouts are halved sprouts tossed in a marinade of balsamic vinegar, pure maple syrup, white miso, and garlic powder, then roasted until tender and caramelized. Toppings like pecans and dried cranberries can be added for texture and sweetness. The dish balances savory, sweet, and tangy flavors with a rich umami undertone from miso.
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):
- pecans or walnuts
- dried cranberries 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.
