Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
For the glaze and seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional) Optional for additional flavor
Garnish
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or thyme, optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cut carrots and Brussels sprouts. Toss them in olive oil, then drizzle with maple syrup.
  3. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Toss again for even seasoning.
  4. Spread the veggies in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes or until the carrots are tender and the Brussels sprouts are golden brown, stirring halfway through.
  2. Once done, let them sit for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

For variations, other vegetables like sweet potatoes or parsnips can be used. Ensure all ingredients are halal-friendly. Cut vegetables into uniform pieces to avoid uneven cooking.
