Equipment
- 2 sheet pans see notes
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts 2 bags
- 1 pound carrots about 6 carrots
- ¼ cup olive oil or aquafaba
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons stone ground Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. For quick cooking and extra crispy vegetables, place 2 clean sheet pans inside the oven to preheat at the same time.
- Wash 2 pounds Brussels sprouts.
- Peel off any outer leaves that appear yellow, dried, or bruised. Chop off the base of the Brussels sprouts and then chop in half.
- Chop 1 pound carrots on the bias into ¼” thick slices.
- Whisk together ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup maple syrup, 3 tablespoons stone ground Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon thyme, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder in a large bowl.
- Add the chopped Brussels sprouts and carrots to the bowl with the glaze. Mix to coat all the vegetables thoroughly.
- Roast the vegetables at 425°F for 15 minutes, or until the side touching the pan begins to brown. Flip the mixture over to brown the other side.
- Continue cooking for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork and the glaze is caramelized.
Notes
Sheet Pan: I recommend using a dark colored sheet pan for crispy, caramelized Brussels sprouts and carrots. A light colored sheet pan will require a longer cook time. If you are making this oil free with aquafaba, use parchment paper so nothing sticks to the pan.
Storage: Store glazed carrots and Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: For best results, reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through and sizzling. You can also microwave them in 30-second intervals.
