Vegetables

• 4 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
• 3 large carrots, cut into batons

Seasonings

• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/3 tsp salt
• 1/3 tsp black pepper

Other Ingredients

• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil (divided: 1 tbsp for coating, 1 tbsp remaining)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables.
2. Coat Vegetables: In a mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts and carrot batons with 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil, tossing thoroughly to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
3. Season Vegetables: Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss again to distribute the spices uniformly over the vegetables.
4. Roast Veggies: Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the vegetables are tender and crispy on the edges. Stir once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
5. Glaze and Caramelize: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, drizzle the maple syrup evenly over the vegetables, then return the tray to the oven for an additional 5 minutes. This step caramelizes the maple syrup, adding a crispy and sweet glaze to the veggies.

Notes

• For extra crispiness, make sure the vegetables are spread out in a single layer without crowding.
• Substitute coconut oil with olive oil if preferred.
• Adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste, add more for a sweeter glaze.
• Use fresh spices for the best flavor impact.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
