Thanks to a drizzle of maple syrup, Brussels sprouts and carrots are beautifully caramelized in the oven. Apply this treatment to any roasted vegetable: The maple-olive-oil mixture is also delicious when drizzled over squash, sweet potatoes, or green beans. If you stick with Brussels sprouts and carrots, we recommend serving this side with a hefty pork chop and chilled white wine.

Tips

  • Try making a big batch of the maple mixture and stashing it in the refrigerator. It can also be used as a salad dressing and a glaze for meat.
  • If you'd like to cut down on dishwashing, line the baking sheet with foil and toss the vegetables with the maple syrup right on the sheet.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 12 ounces Brussels sprouts, halved

  • 8 ounces small carrots with tops, trimmed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F. Stir together olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

  2. Add Brussels sprouts and carrots, and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven until caramelized and tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
