Roasted Brussels Sprouts Vegan Recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients
500g Brussels sprouts (fresh or frozen, see above notes on frozen)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (or other mustard)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or salt)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1-2 tablespoons vegetable broth or water (for roasting)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim the stems. Remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves, then cut them in half lengthwise.
Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl and toss with vegetable broth or water to lightly coat them. Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Prepare the Vinegar Dressing: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, maple syrup (if using), Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Dress the Brussels Sprouts: Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle the vinegar dressing over the roasted Brussels sprouts and toss to coat evenly.
Serve: Serve immediately as a side dish or as part of a main meal. The tangy vinegar dressing pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness of the roasted Brussels sprouts.
