Maple Balsamic Brussels Sprouts Chickpeas Recipes

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BALSAMIC-MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts in olive oil, salt and black pepper.
• Place Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes; stirring and rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
• Meanwhile, prepare the balsamic-maple glaze. Heat a small saucepan under medium-high. Add balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and a small pinch of salt. Stir frequently until the sauce thickens and glaze forms, about 4-5 minutes.
• Drizzle Brussels sprouts with the glaze. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

MAPLE-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH TOASTED HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• To prepare the brussels sprouts, remove any yellow or brown outer leaves, cut off the stems and cut in half.
• In a large bowl, toss the brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt and pepper together. Once all of the brussels sprouts are coated in oil, spread them into a 9-by-13-inch (or larger) baking dish or sheet tray to roast. Note: You may want to line your sheet tray with foil for easy cleanup because the caramelizing process leaves a sticky residue.
• After 15 minutes, stir the brussels sprouts with a spatula or large spoon to even out the browning. After 30 minutes, stir in the maple syrup. (Steps 1 through 4 can be done a day in advance; store covered in the refrigerator. Continue with Steps 5 and 6 right before serving.)
• Continue to roast the brussels sprouts for about 15 more minutes, or until they are fork tender (about 45 minutes total roasting time).
• Toss the roasted brussels sprouts with the hazelnuts and devour!
