Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss 2 lbs trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the Brussels sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the edges are dark golden and crispy.
  3. Step 3: While the sprouts roast, toast 3/4 cup roughly chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat.
  4. Step 4: Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle 3 tbsp maple syrup and 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar over them. Toss gently to coat all the sprouts in the sticky glaze.
  5. Step 5: Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle the toasted walnuts evenly on top. Serve warm as a flavorful holiday side dish.
