    Roasted Brussels sprouts

    Brussels sprouts... you either love 'em or hate 'em.

    We love them.

    My favorite way of cooking Brussels sprouts is roasting them, to get that gorgeous golden brown color and bring out their flavor. But of course, I can't leave you with a basic roasted Brussels sprouts recipe. Let's take these to the next level!

    Enter the Balsamic Maple dressing.

    This easy balsamic maple dressing is the perfect accompaniment to Brussels sprouts. It has a sweet and tangy flavor and balances out the Brussels sprouts natural bitterness.

    Pouring the maple dressing over the warm Brussels sprouts really emphasizes that wonderful maple balsamic scent, inviting you to immediately take a bite.

    It's a match made in side dish heaven.

    This maple balsamic dressing is also amazing over any ol' salad, in a pasta salad, or even as a chickpea salad dressing.

    Ready to make these? 

    Here's what you need:

    For the Brussels sprouts:

    • ½ lb Brussels sprouts, halved (or quartered if large)
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

    Pretty basic so far. Here's where things get really exciting:

    For the balsamic maple dressing:

    • ¼ cup Dijon mustard (or mustard of your choice)
    • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
    • ⅓ cup olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup  (or use agave syrup for a more budget-friendly option, however this maple syrup is a pretty good price for a large jug!)
    • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder (or one small garlic clove, grated or finely minced)
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

    ingredients to make brussels sprouts with maple balsamic dressing

    Here's what you do:

    Step 1: Roast the Brussels sprouts:

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast cut-side down for 10 minutes. Carefully flip the Brussels sprouts and roast for another 5-10 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.

    Step 2: Make the dressing:

    Whisk together all the dressing ingredients from the mustard to the maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper.

    DONE! Drizzle over the warm Brussels sprouts to serve.

    This recipe really couldn't be easier.

    Recipe notes and tips:

    → This recipe makes extra dressing, which is not a bad thing! This dressing will keep in the fridge for about 3 days in a glass jar. It is amazing with a green salad, pasta salad, or a chickpea salad with cucumber and tomato.

    → My favorite way to roast Brussels sprouts (and most vegetables!) is at a high temperature to get that gorgeous brown color. I roast Brussels sprouts at 400F for about 15 minutes.

    → To get the Brussels sprouts crispy, wash them in advance and let them thoroughly dry before roasting. This way they won't steam and will get that nice roasted color.

    Other vegan side dishes you will love:

    • Roasted vegan cheesy cauliflower
    • Vegan yellow squash
    • Vegan mashed butternut squash

    This Brussels sprouts side dish is fantastic with:

    • Vegan steaks
    • Vegan stuffed acorn squash
    • Creamy vegan stroganoff
    • Tater tot casserole
