Ingredients
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced into thick coins
1 small sweet potato, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 small zucchini, sliced into half-moons
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced (or ½ teaspoon garlic powder)
½ teaspoon smoked paprika or regular paprika
½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Add the carrots, sweet potato, Brussels sprouts, red onion, and zucchini to the baking sheet, then drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
3. Spread vegetables into a single layer so they roast instead of steam.
4. Roast for 20 minutes, then remove the tray and toss the vegetables.
5. Whisk together maple syrup, Dijon, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and paprika until smooth.
6. Drizzle the maple Dijon mixture over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.
7. Return to oven and roast for another 10–15 minutes until tender, caramelized, and glossy.
8. Taste, adjust seasoning, and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
