If you’ve been following me on social media, than you know I’ve been crisscrossing the country this month!  I’ve been in Florida, Washington DC, New York, Connecticut, Las Vegas, and California!  A lot of my friends and family have been nice enough to let me stay with them on my travels which I always love because that means I also get to cook in their kitchens 🙂  While in NYC I stayed with my good friend Dori and I was able to make a bunch of food, which included these brussel sprouts.  I realized I hadn’t shared the recipe with you guys yet!  Of course, we ate them so quickly I forgot to take a picture of them!  So here I am in Las Vegas and I made them again for my friends Eric and Cheryl last night.  And I managed to grab a quick pic before they disappeared.
This recipe is fantastic for Fall and perfect to serve to someone who isn’t the biggest brussel sprouts fan. Â The maple caramelizes the the sprouts leaving them tender and full of yummy flavor!
Maple Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Serves 4
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 lb. brussel sprouts, cleaned and halved (or quartered it they are big)
1/4 tsp. sea salt
2 tbsp. pure maple syrup
Heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Â When it’s shiny (about a minute or so) add the brussel sprouts and salt. Â Toss them in the olive oil till coated and let sit a minute to brown. Â Continue to toss and sit until they are roasted and tender. That should take about 7 minutes. Â Add in the maple syrup and toss to coat. Â Let the maple syrup caramelize for about 5 minutes. Â Serve warm.
**UPDATE I decided to kick these up a notch the other night and added a few chili flakes to them when you are sautéing and the spice was really nice with the sweet! Give it a try if you want to mix it up!
i’ve never cooked brussel sprouts stovetop without shredding them first – can’t wait to try!
So yummy! You’ll love these Lynn!
Omg I love you! I’ve already made them once and about to make them again tonight. Special house guest coming….
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoy them Dori!!
I made these tonight to go with our homemade chicken nuggets for dinner….YUM!!! They were so good I nearly devoured half of them before serving them to our family. My 4-year-olds even loved them. GREAT recipe Leslie! I’m going to make these more often!
So happy to hear that Gretchen 🙂
Thank you so much for this amazing looking recipe! I love healthy recipes and I will look forward to trying it out and sharing it with my followers at TianaGustafson.com. As Arnold says “I’ll be back” 🙂 Thanks again!
Finally made these tonight & they were a hit with 3/4 of the family (which is good cause normally brussel sprouts are only a hit with 1/2 of the family) 🙂 Thanks for a yummy family favorite!
