Sweet and Spicy Sprouts
A maple twist on a modern classic side dish. This delicious side will quickly become the star of any meal with its sweet, maple-y taste and spicy kick. What a way to get your vegetables for the day!
Ingredients
- 4-5 cups brussels sprouts halved down the center from top to bottom with any significant woody stem ends trimmed off. The fresher the sprouts, the better they will crisp up.
- ¼ cup olive oil
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 3 tablespoons Spruce Knob Maple Hot Chili Pepper–infused maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes as garnish after cooking if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- Toss brussels sprouts with oil, lemon, syrup, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Arrange sprouts face-down on a baking sheet, slide into preheated oven, and bake for approximately 25 minutes, shaking or stirring after 10 minutes to prevent sticking.
- If additional crisping is desired towards end of cooking time, switch oven to broil setting and monitor closely.
- Sprouts are done when a fork can be inserted and leaf edges are crispy.
