Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, remove any yellow outer leaves, and cut them in half to ensure even roasting.
  2. Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the halved Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are tender and have a caramelized, golden-brown exterior.
  3. Make the Orange Maple Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup and fresh orange juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes until it slightly thickens into a glaze.
  4. Combine and Toss: Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, transfer them to a large bowl. Add the fresh or frozen cranberries, then pour the orange maple glaze over the top. Toss everything gently to coat evenly.
  5. Serve Warm: Transfer the glazed Brussels sprouts with cranberries to a serving dish and serve immediately while warm and flavorful.

Notes

  • Use fresh cranberries if possible to add brightness; frozen cranberries work well too but avoid thawing them before mixing to keep texture.
  • For extra crispness, make sure the Brussels sprouts are spread out in a single layer while roasting without overcrowding the pan.
  • Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper before roasting to enhance the overall flavor.
  • Optional: Sprinkle toasted pecans or walnuts on top for added crunch and richness.
