Ingredients
- 4 heaping cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (about 1½ pounds)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup goat cheese, crumbled (about 2 ounces)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove any discolored outer leaves.
- Place the sprouts on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Toss to coat and arrange in a single layer, cut side down.
- Roast for 20 minutes, until the edges begin to brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with maple syrup, and toss gently to coat.
- Return to the oven and roast for an additional 5–10 minutes, until golden and caramelized.
- Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with dried cranberries and crumbled goat cheese.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use pure maple syrup for best flavor—avoid artificial pancake syrup.
- Spread sprouts in a single layer to ensure even roasting and crispness.
- Add goat cheese and cranberries just before serving to maintain texture.
- To make it vegan, use plant-based cheese or omit cheese and add nuts.
- To reheat, bake in oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to restore crispness.
