Scale
Vegetables
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, halved or quartered and stems removed
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons Specially Selected 100% Pure Maple Syrup
- 1 tablespoon Burman’s Dijon Mustard
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 1/4 cup chopped Southern Grove Pistachios
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate arils
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts at a high temperature for optimal caramelization.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Spread the halved or quartered Brussels sprouts evenly on one or two sheet pans, ensuring they are in a single layer to roast evenly.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and Dijon mustard until fully combined, creating a sweet and tangy glaze.
- Coat Brussels Sprouts: Drizzle the maple mustard mixture over the Brussels sprouts and toss them thoroughly so that each piece is well coated. Sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Roast: Place the sheet pans in the preheated oven and roast the Brussels sprouts for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing them once or twice during the cooking process to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
- Finish and Serve: Once roasted and tender, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and pomegranate arils for a crunchy, tart contrast. Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure the Brussels sprouts are dry before adding the glaze.
- You can substitute pistachios with walnuts or pecans if preferred.
- Pomegranate arils add a fresh burst of flavor but can be omitted or replaced with dried cranberries if not available.
- Use kosher salt for better control over seasoning.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity to taste for a sweeter or milder glaze.
