Today’s Recipe: Seasonal Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Hello, lovely readers! Today, I’m excited to share with you my newest creation: Seasonal Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts. As we transition from spring to summer, I wanted to capture the essence of the changing seasons in a dish that is both comforting and vibrant. This recipe is perfect for a cozy night in or a family gathering, bringing a touch of sweetness to a classic vegetable side.

Ingredients:

• To taste
• To taste

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• whisk

To start, preheat your oven to 200°C. In a mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, maple syrup, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the Brussels sprouts are well coated. Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring that the Brussels sprouts are cut side down.

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are caramelized and tender. While the sprouts are roasting, whisk together the dried cranberries and chopped pecans in a small bowl.

Once the Brussels sprouts are done, transfer them to a serving dish and sprinkle the dried cranberries and pecans on top. Give everything a final toss to combine, allowing the heat of the sprouts to gently warm the cranberries and pecans. Serve hot and enjoy the unique blend of flavors in this seasonal dish.
