Brussels Sprouts. Poor things…they have such a bad rap.
I really like them. And both boys willingly eat them. I had to convince them that they tasted like broccoli to get them to try them…but once they did, they both finished off their portion. The hint of maple sweetness *might* have helped them eat them all up.
I could eat these sweet maple flavored, oven roasted little green gems every night of the week!

Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time30 mins
Servings: 6 persons
Ingredients
- 2 12 oz. bags of frozen Brussels sprouts
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup (I get it free from Amazon, using credit earned Swagbucks)
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- Few dashes of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Cook the frozen Brussels sprouts first as directed on the package, then drain the water and pat them dry. (If using fresh Brussels sprouts, wash and pat dry the Brussels sprouts. Pick off any yellow leaves. Steam in a steamer for about 4-5 minutes. Pat dry and proceed to next step.)

I adore brussel sprouts with just butter and salt…I’m weird. This recipe looks to die for delish. Will be trying it soon! 🙂

We love brussel sprouts at our house, too! I have a little bag of fresh ones in my fridge right now. When I was pregnant, I craved them all the time! We halve them and saute in a little olive oil with bacon and a splash of red wine vinegar.

I love them any way possible…..but my favorite is with a splash of apple cider vinegar and salt(which I like on brocolli too!)
Your recipe is on my “to do” list for next week!

I like them a lot too. Going to have to give them a try with maple. So far our favorite recipe is Linguine with Brussels Sprouts, Bacon, and Shallots. I like to cut them in half or quarter them – less cooking time and easier to eat for little mouths.
