We love roasted Brussels sprouts in the “Yay! For Food” household.

It’s a wonderful side dish option that’s simple, but flavourful with only a few ingredients.

The enjoy-to-make two-ingredient balsamic-maple glaze adds a little extra oomph! The sweet and tangy glaze goes great with the savoury flavour of Brussels sprouts.It’s also vegan and gluten-free for those of you with dietary restrictions.

TIP: When looking for Brussels sprouts, pick ones that are vibrant green, tightly compact, and firm. The smaller Brussels sprouts (my personal preference) tend to be sweeter and flavourful than the larger ones, which often taste more like cabbage.

I hope you enjoy this recipe!

Think you don't like Brussels sprouts? Try roasting them. It brings out the nutty sweetness of the Brussels sprouts. They are perfectly complemented by the tangy and sweet balsamic-maple glaze, which makes this dish oh so delicious!

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.

I have made these several times. The amount of maple to balsamic vinegar is perfect. I add some chopped bacon and Parmesan - and that makes it more enticing for my teenager. Thank you for sharing and ultimately blessing my home.

Can these be made a day ahead and reheated?

Hi Sandy, it's best that the Brussels sprouts be served immediately. The longer it sits, the less crispy it will be.
