Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Trim and halve 1 lb Brussels sprouts and toss them with 2 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 in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until edges are crispy and browned.
3. Step 3: While roasting, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 1 tsp orange zest, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat.
4. Step 4: Bring the glaze to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
5. Step 5: Remove Brussels sprouts from oven, drizzle with warm maple-orange glaze, and toss gently to coat. Return to oven for 3 more minutes to caramelize the glaze before serving.
