ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BALSAMIC-MAPLE GLAZE

They are perfectly complemented by the tangy and sweet balsamic-maple glaze, which makes this dish oh so delicious!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 lbs Brussels sprouts, rinsed, trim ends, remove bruised outer leaves, and cut lengthwise
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 3 tbsp maple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts in olive oil, salt and black pepper.
3. Place Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes; stirring and rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the balsamic-maple glaze. Heat a small saucepan under medium-high. Add balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and a small pinch of salt. Stir frequently until the sauce thickens and glaze forms, about 4-5 minutes.

NOTES

• Adapted from Kevin is Cooking's Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts and WeightWatcher's Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Maple Balsamic Drizzle.
• When picking Brussels sprouts, make sure they are firm, compact, and bright green. The smaller Brussels sprouts are often more tender and flavourful.
• If the glaze gets too thick, add a little more balsamic vinegar to the saucepan at medium-high heat and whisk until you get your desired consistency.
