Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of kosher salt.
Place a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Add olive oil and swirl to coat.
Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise for even cooking.
Arrange halved Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the hot skillet and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes until golden-brown.
Gently stir the Brussels sprouts and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Pour the maple syrup mixture into the skillet and stir to coat the Brussels sprouts. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until bubbling.
Transfer the candied Brussels sprouts to a serving plate and enjoy immediately.
