Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
- 3 large carrots, cut into batons
Seasonings & Oil
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil (divided)
- 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for optimal roasting and caramelization.
- Coat Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts and carrot batons with 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil. Toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly, which helps them roast nicely and develop a crispy texture.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper over the coated vegetables. Toss again to distribute the spices evenly, infusing the veggies with smoky, garlicky, and earthy flavors.
- Roast Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender on the inside and crispy and browned around the edges. Stir the veggies halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
- Glaze and Caramelize: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle 1 tablespoon of maple syrup evenly over the roasted veggies. Return the sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes to allow the maple syrup to caramelize, adding a sweet, glossy finish.
Notes
- For even roasting, ensure vegetables are cut into similar sizes.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Adjust cooking time based on your oven’s performance; veggies should be tender but not mushy.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey for a different sweet note, but it’s no longer vegan.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
