Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs Brussels sprouts
  • 2T extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1T balsamic vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Trim stem ends off Brussels sprouts and cut in half. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss to combine. Spread out in an even layer on the baking sheet.  Roast for at least 20 minutes, until Brussels sprouts are almost tender.
