I know, I know – roasted vegetables are usually the least sexy side dish on the table. But hear me out – these are SO good that I guarantee you (and your guests) will be reaching for seconds. Fall vegetables are roasted to perfect, topped with a sweet and spicy maple glaze that you’re going to want to eat with a spoon. Whether it’s Thanksgiving or just dinner on a weeknight, these Spicy Maple Roasted Vegetables need to be on your table.

Making Spicy Maple Roasted Vegetables

This is the best kind of recipe, in my opinion – just mix, bake, and enjoy. There’s not a lot of ‘active cooking’ involved, making it perfect for weeknight dinner or a busy day spent prepping for Thanksgiving. The roast itself combines Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, fresh cranberries, and apples. It’s a sweet and salty combo, which you’ll season with some herbs and spices and roast until everything is nice and tender.

The spicy maple glaze, which is knock-your-socks-off good, is made with:

  • Maple syrup (any kind should work, and you can substitute honey in a pinch but it will have a different flavor profile)
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Hot sauce (I used Frank’s original red hot)
  • Red pepper flakes

You’ll mix everything in a bowl, transfer to a small pot, and cook over medium heat for a few minutes, just to thicken it a bit. This will help it stick to the veggies, making everything sticky, sweet, delicious. Once your vegetables are roasted, toss in the glaze and serve warm.

Serving and Storage

I like to store the leftover vegetables and glaze separately. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, and when it’s time to reheat, you can microwave, bake, or air fry the vegetables to get them nice and warm again. I prefer air frying because it gives a nice crisp. Then just toss in the remaining glaze and serve.

I love this paired with a protein on the side or mixed in. Sometimes I mix in ground lean turkey to make an easy, delicious dinner hash. You could also top it with a runny egg for a delicious brunch!

    This was seriously very good! We loved everything about it! The roasted vegetables and apple are so good, but the sauce was such a great addition! We halved the recipe for two of us and roasted the veggies on a jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper. There will be enough left for two more servings, which we will sauté to reheat. Thanks for a great recipe!
