Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts

When I placed a carton of Brussels sprouts in my grocery cart at the store last week, my husband Travis looked at me with some serious criticism. “Really?” he asked. Not only did his remark remind me why I usually grocery shop alone, but also that I needed to up my game on making green veggies more appealing.

After roasting these with maple syrup and few other ingredients, his opinion quickly changed after he tried them. Roasted Brussels sprouts are a whole new ball game. They naturally become a little sweeter and full of delicious flavor. Just a simple drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper can even do the trick of transforming them!

However, if you really need to convince someone of their great taste – intensify the flavor and create a sweet caramelized texture with a few special add-ins. Sweet, crispy and still healthy, these veggies can hardly be passed over!
