🥄 Ingredients

For the Roasted Veggies:

• 1 lb red baby potatoes, halved

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Glaze:

• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tbsp pure maple syrup

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary (or thyme)

• Optional: pinch of chili flakes for heat

To Finish:

• Fresh parsley, chopped

• Toasted pecans or almonds (optional)

• Lemon zest

🔧 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on the sheet cut-side down.

3. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp on the edges.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon, maple syrup, vinegar, olive oil, rosemary, and chili flakes if using.
