Description
Transform humble garden vegetables into an unforgettable culinary experience with these sweet, savory, and irresistibly crispy maple glazed carrots and Brussels sprouts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil, divided
- 4 cups brussels sprouts, halved or quartered if large
- 3 large carrots, cut into batons
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1/3 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two large, heavy-duty baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Thoroughly rinse Brussels sprouts, trim off tough ends, and remove loose outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Scrub and peel the carrots. Cut them into pieces that match the size of the halved Brussels sprouts. Add to the mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp melted coconut oil, 1/3 tsp sea salt, 1/3 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1 tsp ground coriander. Whisk until mixed.
- Pour the maple glaze over the vegetables in the mixing bowl. Add the remaining coconut oil. Toss to coat evenly.
- Transfer the glazed vegetables onto the prepared baking sheets in a single layer.
- Roast in the oven for 15 minutes to soften and begin caramelization.
- Remove the sheets, flip the vegetables, and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
- If needed, increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for an additional 5-7 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes on the sheets.
- Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately, optionally adding a squeeze of lemon juice.
