Scale

- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (Grade B or Dark Amber)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
- Clean and trim Brussels sprouts, cutting larger ones in half
- Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper

- Drizzle with maple syrup and toss to coat
- Continue roasting for 10-12 minutes until caramelized with golden-brown edges
- Test for doneness with a fork – should be tender inside with crispy outer leaves
Notes
- Fresh Brussels sprouts are preferred over frozen for better caramelization
- If using frozen sprouts, thaw and pat dry thoroughly
- Can be partially prepared in advance – roast for 15 minutes, refrigerate, then finish with glaze before serving
- Use only pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup, for best results
- Look for golden-brown edges and fork-tender interiors as signs of perfect roasting
