Apple cider vinegar brussels sprouts ingredients + substitutions + tips

For this recipe, you’ll need:

1 lb. small Brussels sprouts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon Grade A (Very Dark and Strong Flavor)* maple syrup

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

*Formerly known as “Grade B” maple syrup.

You can substitute agave syrup in place of the maple syrup if you’d like – the flavor won’t be as dark and complex, but sometimes you just want to cook with what you have on hand! (You could also use honey, although the recipe would then no longer be vegan.)

These can be made up to 3 days ahead of time. Just reheat before serving.

How to make apple cider vinegar brussels sprouts (step by step instructions):

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Fit a medium, rimmed sheet pan with parchment.

Trim the ends off of the Brussels sprouts, and remove any rough outer leaves. Cut any larger Brussels sprouts in half, so that they are roughly the same size as the small whole ones. Reserve.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon, salt, and pepper.

Drizzle the Brussels spouts with maple syrup mixture, and toss well to coat.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until fork tender and cooked through.
