Print Recipe

Sweet maple syrup and smoky bourbon combine with crispy roasted Brussels sprouts to create a perfect holiday side dish that will wow your guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. Trim the ends and halve the Brussels sprouts. Toss them in a mixing bowl with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re crispy and golden-brown.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, bourbon, melted butter, garlic powder, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if using). Heat over low until well combined, stirring occasionally.
  5. Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts back to the mixing bowl. Pour the warm glaze over the sprouts and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Return the glazed sprouts to the baking sheet and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and the sprouts are beautifully golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and serve warm. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting.’, ‘Use fresh Brussels sprouts for better texture and flavor.’, ‘Adjust roasting time if your oven runs hot or cold.’, ‘Skip the bourbon for an alcohol-free version.’, ‘Add toppings like crispy bacon bits, chopped nuts, or dried cranberries for extra flavor.’]
