Healthy Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe

Take your Brussels to a new level with a little bit of sweetness. Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts can please kids and adults alike.

Oh Brussels sprouts! Dreaded by kids, loved by my dad, and trending on Pinterest boards.

My dad would always tried to feed me frozen and then steamed brussel sprouts. NAAAAAASTY YA’LL. So my first attempt at loving Brussels sprouts again was about 6 years ago.  I undercooked them, so they were too hard.  I backed off for another year or two, but now I love them.

My favorite way to cook these babies is in a hot oven, or broiler.  I like them tender, but not squishy-slimy.  I love adding a hint of sweetness because it takes away from their bitter edge, and the additional goodies you can add to this mixture are endless.

Brussels hater?  Dare you to try just one more time.  I’d love to know if you can change your mind, too!
