Maple Balsamic Drizzled Brussels Sprouts Food

BALSAMIC ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet, set aside.
• Rinse and dry 2 lbs. Brussels sprouts.
• Cut off ends and cut Brussels sprouts in half, discarding any loose outer leaves that fall off.
• Place halved Brussels sprouts in a large bowl.
• Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, sea salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Transfer prepared baking sheet, and spread the Brussels sprouts out in one even layer.
• Roast at 450 for 10-15 minutes, or until Brussels sprouts begin to brown. (NOTE: The size of the Brussels Sprouts used will effect the roasting time. Smaller sprouts will roast faster, and need less time).
• In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, maple syrup and honey mustard.
• After 15 minutes, remove Brussels Sprouts from the oven.
• Drizzle balsamic mixture over the partially roasted Brussels sprouts and roast 15-20 additional minutes, stirring halfway through. (NOTE: The size of the Brussels Sprouts used will effect the roasting time. Smaller sprouts will roast faster, and need less time).
• If necessary set the oven to broil the last 1-3 minutes of cooking time to ensure the sauce thickens and sticks to the Brussels sprouts and they get nice and browned and roasted.
• Serve immediately.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. (To get them perfectly crispy, make sure this is the only pan in the oven and you're not roasting anything else at the same time.)
• Slice off any hard ends of the Brussels sprouts, as needed. Slice them in half lengthwise and place them in a large bowl.
• Mix the sprouts with the olive oil, kosher salt, and lots of fresh ground black pepper.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper*, then pour the spouts onto the sheet. Turn them all cut side down.
• Roast for 25 minutes until very browned and tender (don't stir!).
• While the sprouts are roasting, place the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes on medium low heat until thickened slightly and reduced (this should result in about 2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons glaze).
• When the sprouts are done, pour over the maple balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BALSAMIC-MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts in olive oil, salt and black pepper.
• Place Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes; stirring and rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
• Meanwhile, prepare the balsamic-maple glaze. Heat a small saucepan under medium-high. Add balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and a small pinch of salt. Stir frequently until the sauce thickens and glaze forms, about 4-5 minutes.
• Drizzle Brussels sprouts with the glaze. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

BALSAMIC-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the Brussels sprouts on a sheet pan, including some of the loose leaves, which get crispy when they're roasted. Add the pancetta, olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, toss with your hands, and spread out in a single layer. Roast the Brussels sprouts for 20 to 30 minutes, until they're tender and nicely browned and the pancetta is cooked. Toss once during roasting. Remove from the oven, drizzle immediately with the balsamic vinegar, and toss again. Taste for seasonings, and serve hot.
