Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, spread the vegetables out well on the baking sheet so they aren’t crowded.
• Try substituting olive oil for coconut oil if preferred.
• If you like a bit more heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mix.
• Swap maple syrup for honey or agave syrup for a different flavor profile.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or a skillet to maintain the crisp texture. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the vegetables soggy.

FAQs

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts and carrots?

Vegetables

• 4 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
• 3 large carrots, cut into batons

Seasoning & Oil

• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/3 tsp salt
• 1/3 tsp black pepper

Glaze

• 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the vegetables to get crispy edges.
2. Prepare Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts and carrot batons with 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil. Toss well until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil.
3. Season Vegetables: Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss again to ensure all the vegetables are evenly covered with the spices, distributing the flavor thoroughly.
4. Roast Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer to allow even cooking. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to achieve an even crispness and tenderness.
5. Add Maple Glaze: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over the roasted vegetables. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes to allow the maple syrup to caramelize, giving a glossy, sweet finish.

Notes

• Ensure the vegetables are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet to avoid steaming instead of roasting.
• For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the pan.
• You can substitute coconut oil with olive oil if preferred.
• Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more smoked paprika or garlic powder for stronger flavor.
• This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken or as a festive holiday side.
