Ingredients
  

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under cold running water. Trim the woody ends and slice each sprout in half lengthwise. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl for seasoning.

      Make the Maple Mixture: In a separate small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, pure maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preferences.

        Combine Ingredients: Drizzle the maple mixture over the halved Brussels sprouts in the mixing bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure that each sprout is evenly coated in the flavorful dressing.

          Prepare for Roasting: Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring ample space between them to promote even roasting.

            Add Walnuts (Optional): If desired, sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the Brussels sprouts before roasting. This adds an extra layer of crunch and nutty flavor.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the Brussels sprouts for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized. Stir them halfway through roasting to ensure all sides are well-cooked and golden brown.

                Serve: Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. If you’re using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the warm Brussels sprouts for a creamy finish. Serve immediately and savor the delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors in your maple roasted garlic Brussels sprouts!
