How to make oven roasted brussels sprouts
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Start by removing and discarding the woody stems at the bottom of the sprouts. Then, slice the larger ones in half and leave the smaller ones whole, ensuring they’re all of a similar size for even cooking.
- Season with Perfection: Drizzle the sprouts with avocado oil and generously sprinkle sea salt and black pepper, mixing until well coated. Place them, cut side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring an even layer. Don’t forget to incorporate any loose leaves; they’ll become delightfully charred and crunchy.
- Time to Bake: Pop the baking sheet in the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Or until your sprouts are tender and boast those coveted crispy brown edges.
- Create the Maple-Spicy Sauce: While your sprouts cool, prepare the sauce. Combine maple syrup and vegan spicy chili oil in a small container, setting it aside for later.
- Finish with Flair: Transfer the roasted sprouts to your serving dish. Drizzle them with the delectable maple-spicy sauce, ensuring even coverage.
