Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
