Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Spread sprouts on a baking sheet cut side down in a single layer. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
  3. While roasting, prepare the glaze by whisking maple syrup, orange juice, orange zest, Dijon mustard, melted butter, and minced garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Simmer for about 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Once roasted, transfer Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and drizzle with the glaze. Toss to coat evenly and top with cranberries and nuts if desired.
