Ingredients

• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil, divided
• 4 cups Brussels sprouts, halved or quartered if large
• 3 large carrots, cut into batons
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/3 tsp salt
• 1/3 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved or quartered Brussels sprouts and carrot batons. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil, then add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything until the vegetables are evenly coated.
3. Step 3: Spread the seasoned vegetables in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 25 minutes until the Brussels sprouts are slightly charred and the carrots are fork-tender.
4. Step 4: Remove the vegetables from the oven. Immediately toss them with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil and the maple syrup. Serve hot, and optionally sprinkle a pinch more smoked paprika for extra flavor.

Tips & Variations

• For a milder flavor, substitute smoked paprika with regular paprika or omit it entirely.
• Add a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end for a tangy twist.
• Use honey instead of maple syrup if preferred, but adjust quantity to taste.
• To ensure even cooking, try to cut carrots and Brussels sprouts to similar sizes.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through. The glaze may thicken when refrigerated; you can drizzle a bit more maple syrup when reheating if desired.

FAQs

Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time?

You can season the vegetables in advance and store them in the refrigerator, but it’s best to roast them fresh just before serving to maintain crispiness.

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts and carrots?

Fresh vegetables work best for this recipe. If using frozen, make sure to thaw and dry them thoroughly before seasoning to avoid excess moisture during roasting.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Vegetables

• 4 cups Brussels sprouts, halved or quartered if large
• 3 large carrots, cut into batons

Seasonings & Oils

• 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, divided
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/3 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 teaspoon black pepper

Glaze

• 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Prepare and Season the Vegetables: Place the halved or quartered Brussels sprouts and carrot batons into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil. Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are fully coated in oil and spices. Optionally, you can add maple syrup now for a sweeter, caramelized flavor after roasting, but the recipe prefers adding it later for freshness.
3. Arrange Vegetables and Roast: Transfer the seasoned vegetables to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them in an even layer to ensure uniform roasting. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until Brussels sprouts are slightly charred and carrots are fork-tender.
4. Finish and Serve: Remove the vegetables from the oven. Immediately toss them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Serve right away while hot. Optionally, sprinkle an additional pinch of smoked paprika before serving for extra flavor.

Notes

• For a deeper caramelized flavor, add the maple syrup before roasting instead of after.
• Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
• Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and smoked paprika.
• For extra crispiness, ensure the vegetables are spread out in a single layer without overcrowding.
• This dish pairs well with roasted meats or as a vegetarian side.
