Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 cups Brussels sprouts, halved or quartered if large
- 3 large carrots, cut into batons
Seasoning and Glaze
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil, divided
- 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
- 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 the 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 well until the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and spices. You can add maple syrup now for sweeter caramelization or wait until after roasting for a fresher glaze.
- 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 the Brussels sprouts are slightly charred and the 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 maple syrup to glaze. Serve hot, optionally sprinkling a pinch more smoked paprika for an extra flavor boost.
Notes
- For a sweeter glaze, add the maple syrup before roasting; for a fresher taste, add after roasting.
- Use silicone baking mat or parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or spices if desired.
- This dish pairs well with roasted meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
