    Ohhhhhhh Brussels sprouts. Or is it Brussel sprouts? I always thought it was the latter.

    It matters not. Today's roasted Brussels sprouts are straight sweet n' salty HEAVEN. Caramelized to perfection with with maple syrup, buttery coconut oil, and balsamic. Oh man...now I've got a hankering for my best balsamic vinaigrette!

    They goes swimmingly with veggie burgers, roasted fish, or with pretty much anything on the Thanksgiving table. I've been all over roasted veggies lately; but since I'm stuffed myself silly with every variety of squash known to man, I'm moved on the other veggies. Mostly these sprout buddies.

    How to slice Brussels sprouts

    No woody ends allowed, no sir!

    1. Wash and remove any brownish leaves.
    2. Slice off the woody end.
    3. Then slice through vertically into halves smaller sprouts or into quarters for larger sprouts.

    Recipe tips and substitutions

    This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled if you're feeding a crowd. You'll want leftovers!

    • Brussels sprouts: the one and only! Take any funky leaves off and chop the woody ends. Slice or quarter depending on how big they are.
    • coconut oil: for buttery notes. Use refined for no coconut flavor. Olive oil or avocado oil also work, but I definitely prefer coconut oil.
    • maple syrup: for the perfect amount of sweetness. Honey could also work.
    • balsamic vinegar: a tiny bit of acid to balance all the flavors.
    • sea salt + pepper: a pinch of both for perfect flavor.

    How to make crispy Brussels sprouts

    1. Use enough oil. We're using two tablespoons here for nice browning.
    2. Spread evenly in the pan, cut side down, with space between. You don't want them touching or the sprouts will steam rather than roast and you won't get that flavor. If you double the recipe, use two pans so there's enough space in the pan.
    3. Roast directly on the pan, which will help with crispiness.

    What to serve with roasted Brussels sprouts

    • Vegan Butternut Squash Pasta
    • Pumpkin Walnut Burgers
    • Salmon Burgers

    Snacking on roasted Brussels sprouts is totally normal and not at all weird, just to set the record straight. You may be a little stinky, but hey...you win some, you lose some.

      So glad I found this recipe 7 years after it was posted! THese were delicious, but not as crispy as the ones in the image even though I left them to bake for 5 extra minutes. Maybe a slightly higher temp or on a higher rack in my finicky oven? Still, they were devoured by the fam who ate the whole sheet!
