Y’all I only eat my brussels like this: Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts. I like to add a little maple syrup and red pepper flakes to the mix to give it that sweet heat. Then I roast them to they get caramelized and tender with some balsamic vinegar. Once you try mine, you won’t eat them any other way.

Ingredient Notes
- Whole brussels sprouts – Fresh brussels sprouts can be found in your produce section. If they’re already bagged, try to find a bunch all similar in size. Then clean them by rinsing under some cold water in a colander. Also remove any leaves that look like they are pulling away from the center.
- Extra virgin olive oil – Or another neutral oil like canola, vegetable or avocado.
- Maple Syrup– or honey.
