Introducing my Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts! In my experience, Brussels sprouts often get a bad wrap. Check out any kids movie or book and you’ll be sure to find some child wincing at the sight of them or secretly trying to feed them to the dog. I mean, I was reading a book of short stories to the kid once and there was an entire story devoted to the avoidance of these little green gems. Truthfully, it was really funny but that’s besides the point. Brussels sprouts are not the enemy people! In fact, I’d like to think they’re the unsung hero of the veggie world… too far? 🙂
I reckon the secret to delicious Brussels sprouts lies in how they’re cooked. Most people have only ever tried the boiled variety. And while this method can have it’s place, it’s a pretty unimaginative way of cooking them.
When I’m not too fond of a particular veg or unsure of what to do with it I like to use the roasting method, see how it turns out. Believe it or not, I’m yet to find a veg that doesn’t improve in texture, taste, or awesomeness after a roasting: and Brussels sprouts are no exception.
Salty, sweet, and crispy on the outside, these Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts make an awesome side dish. They’re super easy to prepare and involve hardly any ingredients. It’s all about letting the veggie shine in this dish.
And just as well ’cause Brussels sprouts are choc-full of nutrients. They’re high in Vitamin C, fiber, and a host of other goodies. Trust me, you need more of this gemmifera veg in your life.

Thanks for another informative site. Where else could I get that type of information written in such a perfect method? I’ve a challenge that I am simply now working on, and I have been on the look out for such information.
