Maple Buttered Brussels Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves.

2. 2

   Season the Brussels Sprouts

   In a large bowl, toss the trimmed Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well coated.

3. 3

   Roast the Brussels Sprouts

   Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.

4. 4

   Make the Maple Butter

   In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until well combined and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. 5

   Candy the Pecans

   In a separate small pan, toast the pecans over medium heat for about 5 minutes until fragrant. Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to the pecans, stirring constantly until they are coated and the syrup caramelizes slightly. Remove from heat.

6. 6

   Combine and Serve

   Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, drizzle the maple butter over them and toss gently to coat. Top with the candied pecans and crumbled blue cheese. Serve warm.
