Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 cups Brussels sprouts, halved or quartered if large
- 3 large carrots, cut into batons
Seasonings and Oils
- 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 carrot batons into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the melted coconut oil. Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly in the oil and spices. You may add the maple syrup now for a sweeter caramelized flavor or reserve it for later.
- Arrange Vegetables and Roast: Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts and carrots in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure uniform roasting. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts develop slight char and the carrots are fork-tender.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven. Immediately toss them with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil and the 1 tablespoon maple syrup for a fresh glaze. Serve hot and enjoy! Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch more smoked paprika before serving for an extra flavor boost.
Notes
- Use silicon mats or parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Adjust maple syrup placement based on sweetness preference – before or after roasting.
- Halving or quartering Brussels sprouts ensures even cooking and crispiness.
- Roasting at high heat (450°F) helps achieve that perfect caramelized texture.
- For extra smoky flavor, sprinkle smoked paprika just before serving.
