I had an anniversary and the hubs and I went to Miami for a few days to relax and reconnect. It is always good to get away and relax before the crazy starts with the upcoming holidays.
The weather was perfect so I got plenty of sun and sand. As well as hitting some pretty awesome restaurants in the area. What I noticed at almost every restaurant we ate at was the offering of brussels sprouts. It’s like they are the new popular kid. Which is good for all of us because they are the superstar of the vegetable world.
I am always trying to come up with new ways to serve them here at home. This recipe couldn’t be any simpler, it takes 5 minutes to prep and less than 30 minutes total time. When roasting keep an eye on your Brussels towards the end of roast time to ensure that they don’t get too dark. A little brown is perfect, black is not. Please note if you have monster size Brussels you may need to roast a bit longer, you know they are finished when you can pierce your sprouts with a fork.

I can’t wait for brussels to start getting that sort of attention in Australia- It’s like the ugly stepsister of vegetables! This looks so good and maple/sesame is such a good combo!

I LOVE brussel sprouts and this version looks so delicious!
Thanks Jessica.
That looks really good! I usually make brussels sprouts with honey as my kids won’t eat them unless they are sweet. I never thought to try maple syrup. I will have to try your recipe.
Honey is another great way to flavor up brussels sprouts. I hope your kids like the addition of maple syrup.
Happy Anniversary and how cool you got to getaway to my part of the world! It’s even hotter this week than last week! I just love Brussel sprouts and have got to try your recipe. Looks great!
