Roast at high heat, in a single layer cut side down. Our favorite temperature for roasting vegetables is 450°F. Place all those sprouts cut side down for the best caramelization. You’ll want them in a single layer: no stacking! Use parchment paper to line your baking sheet: not a silicone mat/ Parchment paper makes them the crispiest; silicone mats make them soggy. Bake one tray at a time. To get maximum airflow in your oven, bake only one tray at once. (We learned this the hard way.) Don’t stir. That’s right, don’t even think about stirring! Throw them in for 25 minutes and they should crisp up beautifully.
For the maple glaze, all you’ll do is heat equal parts maple syrup and balsamic vinegar until they reduce into a slightly thick syrup. We added a shake of soy sauce for good measure. Drizzle that over your Brussels sprouts, and you’ll think you’ve died and gone to heaven.
Spicy: Make a spicy variation by adding hot sauce to the maple glaze (about 1 teaspoon), or try these Spicy Brussels Sprouts. Honey: Another great flavor pairing is honey! Drizzle simply with honey or even hot honey. Hoisin: Brussels pair well with Asian-style flavors. Toss with purchased or homemade hoisin sauce.
How to roast more than 1 ½ pounds at one time? You can do this if you have a larger baking sheet that covers the entire baking rack. That’s an 18 x 13 pan, also called a “half sheet pan“. You could comfortably fit about 2 to 2 ½ pounds of Brussels sprouts on a half sheet pan, making sure they have a little space around each.
Shredded: Shred them to make a Brussels sprout salad. Smashed: Try Smashed Brussels Sprouts. Sauteed: Cook up Sauteed Brussels Sprouts. Fried: Pan fry them to perfection with fried Brussels sprouts. Grilled: Throw them onto the grill for grilled Brussels sprouts. Boiled: Making boiled Brussels sprouts is a quick way to cook them.
