Roasted brussels sprouts and carrots are one of my favorite simple sides for the holidays. These veggies are the perfect duo for a holiday gathering, and the colors just pop!

I always have to have some crispy honey mustard parsnips, cauliflower, and/or brussel sprouts on my holiday table.

Something about these starchy, cruciferous veggies that I only think about in the fall. This veggie dish pairs beautifully with our one pot sweet potato turkey skillet.

Crispy air fryer brussel sprouts with parmesan are another favorite, but this roasted brussel sprout and carrot recipe is more festive, thanks to the cranberries.

In fact, these balsamic roasted brussels sprouts and carrots are great for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. These and cheesy potatoes and carrots in the crockpot are some of my favorite ways to use carrots.

And this roasted veggies recipe is also a great use for leftover cranberries, if you have them.

Or, you could always throw them in a vibrant cranberry smoothie after the holidays when you’re craving a lighter meal or snack.

Why You’ll Love These Holiday Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Carrots

• Easy and Quick – Can you cook brussel sprouts and carrots together? Absolutely – and the roasted brussel sprouts and carrots are ready in 30 minutes! Save yourself time by increasing flavor with these nutritious veggies. You could also add in cauliflower, air fryer green beans, or your favorite winter squash.
• Delicious sauce – The maple balsamic sauce makes these oven roasted brussels sprouts and carrots undeniable.
• Made on a sheet pan– Because these veggies are oven roasted on a sheet pan, that frees you up to make some other food, clean up, etc. Plus, a sheet pan with a sheet of parchment paper is easy to clean, so save yourself time there!
• Vegan – No matter who you’re entertaining or what type of diet you follow, most people will be able to enjoy this vegan brussel sprouts and carrots recipe. So versatile!

Ingredients You Need

Depending on the veggies you use, choose autumn veggies that are high in starch so they can better absorb the flavor, like squash, brussel sprouts or sweetpotatoes.

Here we’ve used:

• brussel sprouts – I recommend fresh brussel sprouts over frozen. I find frozen brussel sprouts get a bit watery and don’t crunch up as well. Fresh brussel sprouts with maple syrup and balsamic will better hold that liquid in!
• carrots
• cranberries

For the maple balsamic roasted vegetables sauce I prefer, I use

• high heat cooking oil, like avocado oil – Essentially, using a cooking oil above its smoke point means it can break down nutrients and create free radicals, which is no bueno in your food, so a high-heat cooking oil is safest.
• maple syrup
• balsamic vinegar
• sea salt and black pepper
• diced rosemary

Brussel sprouts with maple syrup and balsamic are always a game-changer, and anything made on a sheet pan is an excellent time-saving strategy.

How to Roast Carrots and Brussel Sprouts in the Oven 

This may seem obvious, because don’t we all know how to roast vegetables? But, sometimes there can be confusion when it comes to different vegetable roasting times. 

Since these are the best roasted carrots and brussels sprouts ever, I’ve tested them several times to make them easy.

You’re simply going to combine everything in a bowl, add the sauce, mix, and pour them on your sheetpan.

I’m all about efficiency, especially when you’re sharing a kitchen with others doing the holiday cooking. 

While there are several appliances out there you can use, I always go back to the traditional oven roasted brussel sprouts and carrots with balsamic that I make in my own kitchen, time and time again.

Plus, a little tartness from the cranberries. So many flavors but so much goodness.

I think you’ll soon agree that these holiday vegan roasted vegetables need to be on your table.

Holiday Pairings For Roasted Vegetables with Brussels Sprouts

The perfect sweet-savory glaze with the maple roasted veggies make these the perfect roasted fall vegetable dish.

I love the color and flavors that roasted veggies with brussel sprouts can bring to side dishes, so here are my favorite holiday pairings:

• mashed potatoes
• instant pot sweet potato casserole
• crispy roast parsnips or other roasted veggies
• cranberry green bean salad
• rolls with cranberry strawberry chia sauce
• Spaghetti Stuffed Squash Boats
• A grain salad, like this Butternut Squash Beet Salad
• Quinoa Chocolate Chip Apple Crumble – the best healthy dessert!

Do you add anything else to your roasted brussel sprouts and carrots?

Sunflower seeds, sliced almonds or pumpkin seeds add a nice little crunch!
