Preheat the oven to 400°F and grab a large rimmed baking sheet. TIP: for extra crispiness, roast on the sheet directly, and don’t use parchment paper!
Make the glaze by mixing together the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup in a small bowl and set aside.
Prepare the brussels sprouts by trimming the ends off and cutting them in half. Feel free to remove any leaves that are browned and wilted.
In a medium mixing bowl, toss the brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until fully coated.
Spread them across your large baking sheet in a single layer cut-side down. TIP: make sure they are cut side down to ensure super crispy brussels!
Roast for 20 - 25 minutes.
As soon as the brussel sprouts are done roasting, toss them immediately in the balsamic maple mixture. Mix them, so they are coasted on the baking sheet.
Roast for 5 - 10 extra minutes until everything is tender, golden, and crispy.
Sprinkle a dash of salt or chopped-up roasted almonds or hazelnuts on top. You can even add bacon crumbles. Enjoy!
