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
Sweetener
- 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 everything together until the vegetables are well coated in the oil and spices. The maple syrup can be added now for a caramelized flavor, but it’s preferred to add it at the end for a fresher taste.
- Arrange Vegetables and Roast: Transfer the seasoned Brussels sprouts and carrots to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in an even layer for 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 roasted vegetables from the oven and immediately toss them with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Serve right away while hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For best texture, ensure vegetables are spread out evenly on the baking sheet to allow for proper roasting and browning.
- If you prefer a sweeter glaze, add the maple syrup before roasting, but for a fresher maple taste, add it after roasting.
- You can substitute coconut oil with olive oil if preferred, though it may slightly alter the flavor.
- Ensure carrots are cut evenly into batons for uniform cooking.
- This dish pairs well with roasted chicken, pork, or as part of a plant-based meal.
