Serves: 4–6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20–25 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
⭐ Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed + halved
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
Salt + pepper, to taste
¼ cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1–2 tbsp honey, warmed (for drizzling)
Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional garnish)
Wooden or metal skewers
🎄 Instructions
1. Prep the Brussels Sprouts
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, maple syrup (or honey), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
2. Roast Until Golden + Caramelized
Spread sprouts cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Roast for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned and crispy on the edges.
3. Toast the Walnuts
While the sprouts roast, warm a small pan over medium heat.
Toast chopped walnuts for 2–3 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Set aside.
4. Assemble the Christmas Skewers
Let sprouts cool slightly.
Thread 3–4 sprouts onto each skewer (flat sides facing alternating directions for grip).
Arrange on a serving platter.
5. Finish with Walnut Honey
Warm 1–2 tbsp honey (microwave 5–10 seconds or gently heat on the stove).
Drizzle over the skewers.
Sprinkle toasted walnuts over top.
Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary for color and aroma.
💡 Tips & Variations
Extra caramelization: Add a second drizzle of honey halfway through roasting.
Spicy version: Add chili flakes to the honey before drizzling.
Nut-free: Replace walnuts with toasted pumpkin seeds.
Make ahead: Roast Brussels sprouts earlier in the day; reheat 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C) before assembling.
