Description
Maple-Dijon Brussels Sprout Skewers are crispy, caramelized, and coated in a sweet-tangy glaze. Ready in just 30 minutes, these skewers make an easy weeknight side or a crowd-pleasing holiday appetizer.
Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts (about 1 lb), trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (30 ml)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (15 g)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (5 ml)
- ½ teaspoon salt (3 g)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (1 g)
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 10 minutes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) or heat grill to medium-high.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Add Brussels sprouts and toss until evenly coated.
Thread sprouts onto soaked skewers, cut side facing the same way for even cooking.
Roast on a lined baking sheet for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway, or grill for 12–15 minutes, turning once, until tender and caramelized.
Drizzle with any extra glaze before serving.
Notes
Soak wooden skewers for at least 10 minutes so they don’t burn.
Want a little heat? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
For extra crunch, sprinkle with toasted nuts or pomegranate seeds after cooking.
These taste amazing the next day—just reheat in an air fryer to bring back the crisp.
