How To Get The Perfect Maple-Herb-Roasted Sheet Pan Vegetables:
- Brussels Sprouts – Buy them fresh! Whether they’re on or off the stem, pick sprouts that are vibrant green, compact and firm. The smaller the sprout the sweeter it will taste. Bigger ones are more bitter, and will taste more like cabbage. Also, please note: don’t ever boil, microwave or steam brussels sprouts, because it will scar you for life. The taste will be very bitter, and the texture will be boring and limp. Overall, those methods don’t take full advantage of the natural sugars found in sprouts.
- Cooking Preparation – The correct preparation is crucial. You want to get them nice and browned and crispy…even charred in some areas. Don’t be afraid to char those babies up (char is flavor)!
- Oil – I use avocado oil for a number of reasons. Mainly, though, because of its very high smoke point and neutral flavor. (The only time I use extra virgin olive oil is for finishing a dish, or for a homemade salad dressing).
- Tip: When looking for oil, you want to make sure to find one that is of single origin and is not cut with other inferior oils. It should be 100% pure avocado oil.
- Maple Syrup – A good quality syrup is important to have on hand. My favorite brand is Crown Maple Syrup because their brand is 100% pure and organic with no added junk.
Different Flavor Combos:
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar
- Sweeten with honey, or coconut sugar
- Add some cinnamon, nutmeg or both
- Sprinkle a bit of my DIY Garden Herb Salt on top
When it comes to putting this dish together, feel free to play around with the measurements. There is no hard, fast rule that it has to be a certain way. If you like more salt, add more salt, and if you don’t want to add the herbs then you don’t have to. It all comes down to preference. I am just here to provide an outline of a great recipe for you to try.
