Ingredients

Extra Virgin Olive oil – You could also use coconut oil as well.
Brussels sprouts – I like to use smaller sprouts but you can vary it up.
Salt and black pepper – To taste.
Balsamic vinegar – I think that adding this also tends to add a bit of an umami flavor.
Maple syrup – A great way to add a natural sweetness that pairs with the balsamic.

How To Make This Brussels Sprouts Recipe

See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements!

Step One: Place oven rack in the center position and preheat oven to 400°F.

Step Two: Heat olive oil in large cast iron or another oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts to skillet and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for several minutes, occasionally stirring until the sprouts begin to turn brown.

Step Three: Once browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove sprouts from oven once they are tender and start to turn a vibrant brown color.

Step Four: While the sprouts are roasting, add balsamic vinegar and maple syrup to a small skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to medium. Continue stirring until the vinegar mixture reduces to about 1/3 of its original volume and becomes thick and syrupy. (Do not overcook or it will get too hard and sticky).

Storage and leftovers

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers of this easy dish, just be sure to let them cool to room temperature before adding them to an airtight container.

To reheat, you can warm them up on the oven for a short roasting time or pop them in the microwave as well.
