How to Make Maple Brussels Sprouts

Today, we’re making maple roasted, maple glazed Brussels sprouts in the oven! To start, we’ll begin by preheating the oven to 400F. Then, lining a baking sheet with greased foil.

Now, wash and pat dry Brussels sprouts. Trim off the ends and slice each Brussels sprouts in half.

Next, add the Brussels sprouts to a large mixing bowl with oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.

Pour the Brussels sprouts into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Then, remove any stray leaves to avoid burning. We’ll add these back in later.

Storing Instructions for Maple Brussels Sprouts

This maple Brussels sprouts side dish is best served right away. When served fresh, this dish is warm, sweetly fragrant, and boasts crisp edges with tender centers. When served hours or even days later, this crispness and fresh deliciousness is gone.

I recommend making this maple Brussels sprouts recipe in advance and keeping warm as little as possible before serving. If needed, you can store cooled Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Reheat in the oven or the microwave until hot. But, the original crispness will not be there.

Suggested Toppings for Maple Brussels Sprouts

As you can see from my photos, my favorite toppings for these maple Brussels sprouts are dried cranberries and pecans. However, you can take your dish in a different direction:

Dried cranberries + pecans (my preference)
Dried apricots + sliced almonds
Sesame seeds + raisins
Keep it simple with just a drizzle of maple syrup
A dash of paprika, cayenne, and black pepper for a sweet ‘n spicy kick

All these variations also pair perfectly with my Creamy Chicken Dijon Recipe and my Pan Seared Chicken Breast to make a wonderfully well-rounded meal.
