  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts

  • 16 oz Brussels sprouts, washed and halved

Marinade

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 ½ tbsp high quality balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
  • 2 ½ tbsp soy sauce
  • 2-3 large cloves of garlic, minced
  • ⅛ tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, shallow dish, or gallon-sized Ziplock bag, combine extra virgin olive oil, pure maple syrup, high quality balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
  2. Marinate the Brussels Sprouts: Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the marinade and toss until all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the bag, then refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. Stir occasionally for even flavor absorption; marinating overnight enhances the taste.
  3. Preheat Oven or Air Fryer: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Alternatively, preheat an air fryer to 425°F if using that cooking method.
  4. Arrange Brussels Sprouts for Cooking: Transfer the marinated Brussels sprouts onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even roasting. If air-frying, place them in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
  5. Cook the Brussels Sprouts: For oven roasting, bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even caramelization. For air frying, cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway. Brussels sprouts should be tender on the inside and slightly charred on the outside when done.
  6. Finish and Serve: Remove from oven or air fryer, season with additional salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle extra balsamic glaze if desired for an extra tangy kick. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • Marinating overnight intensifies the flavors significantly.
  • Use high-quality balsamic vinegar or a balsamic glaze for best taste.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your preference after roasting.
  • You can substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • Air frying is a quicker alternative to oven roasting and yields equally crispy sprouts.
