Roasted Brussels sprouts and carrots with maple mustard glaze is a healthy fall recipe. It's the perfect side dish at your holiday table or any time of year.
Have you tried roasting Brussels sprouts?
Their little leaves fall off and get all crunchy when they're roasted. Pair that with some carrots and coat them in a delicious maple and mustard glaze... you are going to be in love! Especially if you already enjoyed them to begin with.
Similar to maple Dijon roasted carrots and apples, this dish bursts with flavor with each deliciously caramelized bite.
And if you can't get enough of these Brussels sprouts and carrots, try adding them to a vegan fall harvest salad along with a drizzle of maple Dijon vinaigrette! It will transform your salads or quinoa bowls.
How to Make Roasted Carrots and Brussels Sprouts
This makes a great side dish or can be served as a main dish on a bed of rice and chickpeas. Once you get through the chopping, the dish comes together very quickly.
Start by prepping your Brussels sprouts and carrots. To prepare Brussels sprouts for roasting: wash and then trim the bottom stem to remove any parts that are dried or yellow.
Next, remove any outer leaves that are blemished or discolored. If the outside of the leaves looks healthy, there is no need to peel them off.
Prep the carrots by cutting them on the bias or at a diagonal to increase their surface space. Combine the dressing ingredients in a large bowl, and then add the Brussels sprouts and carrots. Toss the veggies in the dressing and then place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Pro tip: Do not skip the parchment paper, or you will regret it. The caramelized maple syrup will make a sheet pan almost impossible to clean up without it.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, tossing once halfway through, or until veggies are easily pierced with a fork. The dressing should have caramelized on the pan and any stray Brussels sprout leaves should be crunchy and perfect for snacking on. Remove from the oven and toss with toasted pecans.
The combination of the sweet, the salty, and the tangy mustard is enough to win just about anyone over. Enjoy!

Made this recipe. It was absolutely delicious. And it's doable for those of us with marginal cooking skills. You've got to try it even if you aren't a big fan of brussels sprouts. Thanks Maggie for bringing it to our vegetarian table.

Hi Linda, Are you asking about frozen Brussels sprouts? I’ve never tried it from frozen, so I can’t say for certain.
