  • Extra virgin olive oil – Or another neutral oil like canola, vegetable or avocado.
  • Maple Syrup– or honey.

Recipe Tips

  • Smaller sprouts will roast faster than larger ones. Cutting larger sprouts into quarters instead of halves may be necessary.
  • Don’t overcrowd your pan. If you’ve doubled this recipe or are using a smaller pan, you’ll need to roast your sprouts in two batches.
