A simple roasted brussels sprouts recipe featuring shallots, maple syrup, stone ground mustard that is gluten-free and vegan. A great make ahead dish for the holidays!
Preheat oven + prep vegetables: Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Wash brussels sprouts and shallots, then cut them for roasting. To cut brussel sprouts, remove the stems and ends from the sprouts, then cut each sprout in half or in quarters (the smaller the pieces, the crispier they will be!). To cut shallots, start by cutting shallots in half lengthwise, then cut each half horizontally to yield thin slices.
Season vegetables: Combine brussels sprouts, sliced shallot, olive oil, maple syrup, mustard, and salt and pepper in large bowl and mix well.
Bake until golden brown: Transfer veggies to oiled cookie sheet and bake until golden brown, about 25-35 minutes depending on your oven. Stir periodically to ensure sprouts brown on all sides.
Serve vegetables: Remove pan from the oven and serve immediately or let cool and store in refrigerator to be eaten later.
Notes
Tools needed: sheet pan, glass mixing bowls
Recipe notes: My trick for perfectly brown (and not burned) brussels is to leave them untouched for first 10 minutes, then flip every 5-7 minutes after to prevent burning and let them crispy on all sides.
Leftovers + storage: There’s rarely leftovers, but store in an airtight container for up to four days in the refrigerator and reheat in a pan or microwave. Do not freeze, frozen and thawed brussels will not have the same texture and will get mushy.
Nutrition notes: Nutrition information is for brussels sprouts without optional pancetta. This simple brussels sprouts side dish is a good source of fiber and is high in vitamin C, which being low in sodium and high in healthy fats...and flavor!
