The Maple-Glazed Brussels Sprouts That Bring a Canadian Touch to the Table
MAPLE-GLAZED SIDE DISH
Olive oil, maple syrup, a spoonful of Dijon. Toss them with Brussels sprouts, spread everything on a baking sheet, and the oven does the rest. Twenty-five minutes later the sprouts are golden, a little crispy and coated in a sweet, tangy glaze.
Serve them as a side dish, or pair them with Cabera organic steak-cut fries for a hearty meal.
Why this recipe works
• Maple makes it Canadian. Pure maple syrup caramelizes in the oven and gives the sprouts a distinctly Canadian touch.
• A glaze from the pantry. Olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper, tossed in one bowl.
• Fries on the side. Steak-cut fries bring a bold, bistro-style texture to the plate.
Roasted Organic Brussels Sprouts with Maple Glaze
Prep: 10 min · Cook: 25 min · Serves 4
Ingredients
• 4 cups Cabera organic frozen Brussels sprouts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: Cabera organic steak-cut fries, to serve
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Thaw the Brussels sprouts slightly for easier handling.
2. Toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
3. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and slightly crispy.
4. Serve hot as a side dish, paired with organic steak-cut fries for a hearty, flavourful meal.
Meal-prep tip: Whisk the oil, maple syrup and mustard ahead and keep the glaze in the fridge. Reheat leftover sprouts in a hot oven so they crisp up again.
Make it your own
• Line the sheet. Parchment paper keeps the maple glaze from sticking to the pan.
• Add crunch. Scatter chopped pecans or walnuts over the sprouts for the last 5 minutes of roasting.
• Add heat. A pinch of chili flakes in the glaze balances the sweetness.
Keep a bag of Cabera Foods organic frozen Brussels sprouts in the freezer and a bottle of maple syrup in the pantry, and this side dish is ready whenever dinner needs one.
