Level: Easy
Total: 30 min
Active: 10 min
Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds Brussels sprouts, quartered
1/2 cup mayonnaise (see Cook’s Note)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons maple syrup
3 cloves garlic, finely grated
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper, optional

Directions

Arrange racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F.

Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl and shake them up to let loose the outer leaves.

Stir together the mayonnaise, Dijon, thyme, maple syrup, garlic, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, a few grinds of pepper and the cayenne if using in a small bowl. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat.

Do not be gentle! The more leaves that fall off the sprouts, the better. Spread the Brussels sprouts on two baking sheets.

Roast for 10 minutes, then toss the sprouts with a metal spatula and swap the baking sheets.

Continue to roast until the sprouts are tender and the loose leaves are dark and crispy, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Cook’s Note: Use mayonnaise that does not have an olive oil base.
