Roasted Brussels Sprouts Without Excess Oil

How to roast a vegetables without excess oil? Instead of drenching these Brussels sprouts in oil, I used low sodium vegetable broth to keep them moist. Let’s eat more plants!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of Brussels sprouts or about 30-35 sprouts
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon real maple syrup (Ingredients should say maple syrup only!)
  • 3 Tablespoons low sodium vegetable broth (If store bought, check the ingredients, if they all look like things you would use at home you’re good to go!)
  • Salt & pepper

Directions

  1. Wash Brussels sprouts well and let them dry completely.
  2. Preheat oven to 375º F (190º C).
  3. Cut each sprout in half and place them in a bowl.
  4. Mix olive oil, maple syrup and low sodium vegetable broth and drizzle over sprouts tossing them until evenly coated.
  5. Season lightly with salt and pepper and toss again.
  6. Spread prepared sprouts onto a baking sheet and place in the middle rack of the oven.
  7. Roast until they are golden brown, about 20 minutes. If they seem to be getting dry you can add a bit more vegetable broth and toss gently using a spatula.
  8. Once they are golden brown you are all done! Enjoy!
