Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional)
  • 2 cups mixed greens (optional)
  • For the dressing:
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
  5. Allow the roasted Brussels sprouts to cool slightly.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the sprouts with dried cranberries, chopped nuts, and mixed greens if using.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
  8. Sprinkle crumbled feta or goat cheese on top before serving if desired.

Notes

  • Add thinly sliced red onion for extra sharpness.
  • Toss in grilled chicken or chickpeas for additional protein.
  • Toast the nuts beforehand for deeper flavor and crunch.
  • Add thin apple slices for extra sweetness and texture.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Spread sprouts in a single layer to prevent sogginess.
