A simple yet flavorful side dish featuring roasted purple sprouting broccoli and sweet onions, drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze.
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large bowl, toss the purple sprouting broccoli and red onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the onions are softened and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Once the vegetables are cooked, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the roasted broccoli and onions. Serve immediately.

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before roasting.
The roasting time may vary depending on your oven. Check the vegetables periodically and adjust the time accordingly.
If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can use lemon juice or apple cider vinegar instead. The glaze will not be as thick, but it will still add a nice tang.
To make it a complete meal, add some cooked chickpeas or white beans to the baking sheet along with the vegetables.
