Chipotle Maple Brussels Sprouts

I LOVE brussels sprouts. Especially these sweet and spicy chipotle maple brussels sprouts.

That is something that 10-year-old me never thought I’d say.

I can absolutely understand why Brussels sprouts have a bad rep. If you don’t prepare them properly, they’re like soggy little cabbages that smell bad. BUT when you make them right (i.e. roast them in the oven OR deep fry them) then they turn out just the opposite: crispy and caramelized little cabbage-like cuties that smell sweet. SO MUCH BETTER.

Today’s method of cooking Brussels sprouts: roasting them in an oven at high heat. The key is to cook these little guys cut side down, that way the bottom gets all caramelized, the middle stays tender and the tops get nice and crispy.

This recipe is super simple – just some sprouts coated in a few spices. After they roast in the oven, they get a quick toss in a bit of maple syrup.

The result: savory Brussels with a hint of heat and a hint of sweet 😉

This is an easy side dish that everyone will love – even the Brussels sprouts haters in your life.
