Oven-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Apple Cider Vinegar
Description
This recipe for Oven-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Apple Cider Vinegar starts with halving fresh Brussels sprouts and coating them lightly with olive oil, salt, and red chili flakes. Roasting at 450ºF develops crisp, golden edges and a tender interior. Once out of the oven, the sprouts are tossed with apple cider vinegar and optionally maple syrup to inject a bright acidity and a touch of sweetness that complements the roasted flavors.
The chili flakes add a mild heat contrast that enhances but does not overpower the natural vegetable taste. The roasting step produces a slightly crispy texture on the outside while retaining a meaty bite inside. The vinegar and maple syrup balance these textures with a sharp and sweet glaze effect.
These Brussels sprouts are ideal as a side dish accompanying hearty mains or served warm to highlight their fresh, roasted components. Serving immediately after tossing with the vinegar ensures they keep their texture and vibrant flavors.
For those wanting more sweetness, the maple syrup is optional and can be adjusted to taste. Splitting the salt into two portions allows for seasoning during and after roasting to optimize flavor distribution.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt divided
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450ºF.
- Halve brussels sprouts. Line in a single layer on a baking sheet, and drizzle olive oil over sprouts. Sprinkle the chili flakes and half the salt over the veggies.
- Roast 16-18 minutes until the sprouts have golden, crispy edges and to your desired level of doneness.
- Remove brussels sprouts from the oven, and sprinkle with the remaining salt.
- Add brussels sprouts to a serving bowl, drizzle the vinegar and optional syrup over the sprouts, and toss to incorporate. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use the optional maple syrup sparingly based on your sweetness preference.
- Toss and serve the Brussels sprouts immediately after adding vinegar to keep textures crisp.
- Halve the sprouts uniformly to ensure even roasting.
