Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved Brussels sprouts in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well-coated. Spread them cut side down on a baking sheet.
  2. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together maple syrup, orange juice, orange zest, Dijon mustard, melted butter, and minced garlic. Simmer for about 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving dish, drizzle with the glaze, toss to coat evenly, and sprinkle with dried cranberries and nuts if using.
