For the Brussels Sprouts

  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil Essential for roasting
  • Salt and Pepper To taste

  • 2 tablespoons Orange Juice Freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon Orange Zest Avoid the bitter white pith
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard Provides a tangy balance
  • 1 tablespoon Butter Melted; substitute with plant-based oil for vegan

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • Small saucepan

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until coated. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut side down. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  2. While the Brussels sprouts roast, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the maple syrup, orange juice, orange zest, Dijon mustard, melted butter, and minced garlic. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Once done roasting, transfer Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Drizzle the orange maple glaze over the top and gently toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle dried cranberries and chopped nuts on top for added texture. Serve warm.
