Orange Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts (Printable)

Crispy sprouts with sticky maple-orange glaze, ready in 30 minutes.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Brussels Sprouts

01 - 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (quarter any large sprouts)

→ For Roasting

02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1/4 tsp kosher salt
04 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

→ Orange Maple Glaze

05 - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (grade A recommended)
06 - 2 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice (about half a large orange)
07 - 1 tsp orange zest (preferably freshly grated)
08 - 1 tbsp soy sauce (use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free/soy-free)
09 - 1 clove garlic, finely minced

# How To Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Rinse and thoroughly dry Brussels sprouts. Trim stem ends and halve each sprout, quartering if very large.
03 - Toss sprouts in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
04 - Arrange sprouts cut-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overcrowding.
05 - Roast for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, stir or flip sprouts, then roast for another 10 minutes until golden and just tender.
06 - Whisk together maple syrup, orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, and minced garlic until smooth. Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce for saltiness or orange juice for brightness as needed.
07 - Remove roasted sprouts from oven. Drizzle glaze evenly over sprouts and toss gently to coat.
08 - Return to oven for 5 minutes, watching carefully, until glaze bubbles and caramelizes without burning.
09 - Serve hot, garnished with extra orange zest or toasted sesame seeds if desired.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • Even confirmed sprout skeptics go back for seconds
  • The glaze turns into sticky candy-like goodness in minutes
  • Ready in under 30 minutes with almost zero hands-on time
02 -
  • Crowding the pan is the fastest way to soggy sprouts
  • The glaze goes from perfect to burned quickly, so set a timer for those last 5 minutes
03 -
  • Dry your sprouts completely after rinsing or they won't crisp up properly
  • Let the pan cool slightly before tossing with glaze to prevent splattering
