Maple Dijon Roasted Vegetables

If there’s one side dish that feels like a warm hug on a busy weeknight, it’s Maple Dijon Roasted Vegetables. You know the kind—the one that makes your kitchen smell amazing, looks fancy enough for guests, but secretly takes almost no effort.

I fully believe vegetables deserve their moment to shine too. Especially when they’re roasted until golden, kissed with maple sweetness, and balanced with that tangy Dijon bite. This recipe is my go-to when I want something cozy, colorful, and reliable—whether it’s a Tuesday night dinner or a holiday table situation where you really want people to say, “Who made these veggies?!”

Let’s get comfy and cook.

Why You’ll Love These Maple Dijon Roasted Vegetables

There are a lot of roasted vegetable recipes out there, but this one hits that sweet spot between simple and special. Here’s why it earns a permanent spot in your rotation:

• Big flavor, low effort. A quick whisk, one pan, and the oven does the rest.
• Sweet meets savory. Maple syrup and Dijon mustard are best friends—trust me.
• Perfect for picky eaters. Roasting brings out natural sweetness (even Brussels sprouts fans are born this way).
• Weeknight-friendly. From fridge to table in about 30 minutes.
• Flexible. Works as a side dish, a vegetarian main, or a meal-prep hero.

If you’ve ever stared into your fridge thinking, “I should eat more vegetables, but…ugh,” this recipe is your answer.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Nothing fancy here—just everyday produce and pantry staples that work overtime.

• 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
• 2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 1 large carrot, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp maple syrup (real maple syrup, if possible)
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Tip from my kitchen: Try to cut everything to roughly the same size. This helps the veggies roast evenly and saves you from the dreaded “one burnt pepper, one raw potato” situation.

How to Make Maple Dijon Roasted Vegetables (Step-by-Step)

This is one of those recipes where the oven does most of the heavy lifting—my favorite kind.

1. Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking (future you will be grateful).

2. Gather the Veggies

In a large bowl, combine the baby potatoes, Brussels sprouts, carrot slices, bell pepper, and red onion. Take a moment to admire the colors—it’s like fall threw a party.

3. Whisk the Magic

In a small bowl, whisk together:

• Olive oil
• Maple syrup
• Dijon mustard
• Garlic powder
• Salt and pepper

This maple Dijon mixture is where all the magic happens. Sweet, tangy, savory—everything you want.

4. Toss It All Together

Pour the maple Dijon sauce over the vegetables. Toss until everything is evenly coated. Don’t rush this step—every veggie deserves some love.

5. Spread and Roast

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet. Crowding leads to steaming, and we want caramelized edges, not soggy sadness.

Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.

6. Finish and Serve

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy that proud “I made vegetables taste amazing” feeling.

Cooking Tips from My Real-Life Kitchen

• Crispier veggies? Roast on the top rack for the last 5 minutes.
• Too dark, too fast? Loosely tent with foil and keep roasting.
• Extra flavor boost: A tiny splash of balsamic vinegar after roasting adds depth.
• No parchment paper? Lightly grease the pan—just don’t skip this unless you enjoy scrubbing.

And if your vegetables look a little uneven or rustic? Congratulations, you cooked like a human.

A Little Story from My Table

The first time I made these Maple Dijon Roasted Vegetables, it was meant to be “just a side.” You know how that goes. I set them out next to roast chicken, turned around, and suddenly half the pan was gone. My family kept “sampling” until there was barely enough left to serve.

Now, I always make extra. Because experience has taught me one thing: roasted vegetables with maple Dijon sauce disappear fast.

Easy Variations to Try

Once you’ve made this recipe once, you’ll start dreaming up your own twists:

• Add protein: Toss in chickpeas or sliced chicken sausage before roasting.
• Seasonal swaps: Try sweet potatoes, parsnips, or cauliflower.
• Spicy kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
• Herby vibe: Finish with thyme or rosemary instead of parsley.

This recipe is forgiving, flexible, and happy to adapt to what’s in your fridge.
