Nothing says cold weather food like roasted vegetables. Whether they’re cruciferous, starchy, roots, tubers, or herbs, vegetables are turned into edible magic when cooked uncovered and exposed to sweltering temperatures. I’m sure you can guess that sweet potatoes are my favorite vegetable to roast, but I also love brussels sprouts, carrots, and onions…all members of this smoky maple roast vegetable medley!!

Your Thanksgiving table is begging for this hearty dish! And once you taste it, you’re going to want to make it throughout the fall and winter months. Yes, it’s so good you may miss it in summer 🙂

Like all great meals, this one begins with fresh and flavor-packed seasonal vegetables. I am addicted to brussels sprouts, so naturally I chose to include them, along with tiny carrots from my local farmer’s market. And I threw in some onion for good measure.

On a normal day I might toss them with oil and salt, and roast them like that. However, a special occasion like Thanksgiving calls for a special treatment of this already delicious dish. I just added maple syrup, smoked paprika, and cayenne, and voila: Smoky Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Carrots.
