# What You'll Need:
→ Brussels Sprouts
01 - 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved, quartered if large
→ For Roasting
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
→ Orange Maple Glaze
05 - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
06 - 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
07 - 1 teaspoon orange zest
08 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
09 - 1 clove garlic, finely minced
# Step-by-step Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Rinse and thoroughly dry Brussels sprouts. Trim stem ends and halve each sprout, quartering any large ones for even roasting.
03 - In a large bowl, toss the sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
04 - Arrange sprouts cut-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overcrowding.
05 - Roast in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove, stir or flip sprouts, and roast for another 10 minutes until golden and tender.
06 - Whisk together maple syrup, orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
07 - Remove roasted sprouts from oven. Drizzle glaze evenly over sprouts and toss gently to coat.
08 - Return to oven for 5 minutes, watching carefully until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes without burning.
09 - Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra orange zest or toasted sesame seeds.
