Prepare the Brussel sprouts: Trim the ends off the Brussel sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise. If you have any particularly large sprouts, you can quarter them.
Make the maple Dijon glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Tips for the Best Maple Brussel Sprouts

Don’t overcrowd the pan: Make sure the Brussel sprouts are in a single layer to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness. If necessary, use two baking sheets.
Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet flavor, you can reduce the maple syrup to 1 tablespoon.
Add some heat: For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
Get creative with toppings: Toasted pecans, crumbled vegan feta, or a sprinkle of fresh parsley would all make delicious additions.

FAQs About Vegan Maple Brussel Sprouts

Can I make these maple brussel sprouts ahead of time?

While they’re best enjoyed immediately, you can roast the Brussel sprouts up to a day in advance. Simply reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.

What can I serve these roasted Brussel sprouts with?

These maple Brussel sprouts are incredibly versatile and pair well with a wide variety of dishes. They make a delicious side for tofu steaks, lentil loaf, or roasted vegetables. They’re also amazing tossed into grain bowls or salads for added texture and flavor.

Can I use a different kind of oil?

Yes, olive oil can be substituted with another neutral-flavored oil like avocado oil or grapeseed oil.

Can I make this recipe in an air fryer?

Absolutely! Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook the Brussel sprouts for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, or until tender and crispy.

My Brussel sprouts aren’t getting crispy, what am I doing wrong?

Make sure your oven is hot enough and that the Brussel sprouts are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding the pan can cause them to steam instead of roast.
