Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 4 tablespoons olive oil
  2. 1 shallot, chopped
  3. 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  4. 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  5. 1/2 cup cranberries
  6. 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  7. 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and heat another 30 seconds. Add the shallot and cook, stirring often, until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the maple syrup and the vinegar and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes to reduce slightly. Remove from the heat and stir in the cranberries.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and warm another minute. Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until browned and beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Season with the salt. Stir the sprouts and cook another 3 minutes to continue to brown. Stir again and cook another 3 minutes to brown evenly. Add the maple mixture to the skillet and toss well to coat. Bring to a simmer and simmer to reduce the glaze slightly, another 2 minutes. Serve warm.

David Bolton
Made this recipe for Thanksgiving and it was fabulous! Even the non brussel sprout crowd loved it! Sweet and sour perfection
Devin Moore
Everyone loved it. Easy and will make again soon.
Holly Dunn
Totally a favorite – what I like to add is red pepper flakes to the sauce for a touch of heat
Marie Kaiser
This was a hit! I used a little less maple syrup after reading the reviews and it was perfect! I used fresh cranberries, which made me a bit nervous but they were absolutely perfect for this recipe. This is a keeper.
Caitlin Burton
Delicious! My dad and daughter said they did not like brussels sprouts but they LOVED them cooked this way.
Robert Diaz
Made this recipe for Thanksgiving this year. it was very easy to make. Prepped my brussels sprouts and weighed them on my digital scale, I wanted to be exact. The cranberries are dried, not fresh. The recipe turned out fabulous and everyone raved about the taste. I recommend trying this side dish.
Anna Johnson
This is a really delicious dish, the first time I made it it was too sweet, the second time I used less maple syrup, it was just right.
Kelly Wilson
These are sweet but oh so good and easy too!
Joanne Watson
Best holiday Brussels Sprouts I ever eaten and I love Brussels Sprouts. Don’t change a thing.

I loved the idea of a sweet and tangy sauce for brussels sprouts, but the sauce was a tad too sweet for me. Next time I’ll cut back on the maple syrup.
