Equipment
- cutting board
- sharp knife
- large bowl
- small bowl
- parchment paper
- baking sheet
- spoon
Ingredients
Crispy Brussels sprouts ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts halved or quartered
- ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (use 1 or 2 teaspoons for less heat)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Spicy maple glaze ingredients
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 to 1½ teaspoons sriracha (start with 1 teaspoon and add more to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Coat: In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of sriracha (use 1 or 2 teaspoons for less heat).
- Roast: Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts over the prepared baking sheet. Top them off with any extra panko breadcrumbs left at the bottom of the bowl.
- Toss: Remove from the oven and use a spoon to toss the Brussels sprouts, exposing more surfaces to heat.
- Continue roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy and the Brussels sprouts are tender. Keep a close eye on them as you approach 10 minutes (around 25 minutes total in the oven) to avoid burning.
- Make the glaze: While they roast, combine 1 tablespoon of maple syrup with 1 teaspoon of sriracha in a small bowl. Taste and add an extra ½ teaspoon of sriracha if you prefer more spice.
- Serve: Spoon the Brussels sprouts into a serving dish and drizzle them with the spicy maple syrup. Serve hot.
Notes
- I prefer to halve the Brussels sprouts if regular-sized and quarter them if they are extra large. Try to keep the pieces roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing them.
