Spicy Maple Brussels Sprouts

Spicy Maple Brussels Sprouts. They’re a little crispy, a little soft, juicy, spicy, sweet, … all the good stuff.

Brussels Sprouts have had a very bad reputation for years and they’ve finally made a comeback. Why? Because we’ve learned not to overcook them in boiling water.

I can only speak for myself but I really wasn’t a huge fan of Brussels sprouts for most of my life. However, since I developed an interest in cooking I have given Brussels sprouts a second chance and believe it or not, now I love them.

These spicy maple Brussels sprouts are not only very easy to make and spend most of their time in the oven while you prepare the rest of your dinner, they also taste amazing. They’re mostly soft, incredibly juicy yet have a little crunch to them too. Plus, they’re also sweet with a little kick of spice every now and again. In my opinion they make a perfect side dish.
