I admit that I don't eat enough vegetables. I know. They are good for me. So when I saw this recipe for Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts, I knew I just had to it a try.
PSA: If you've never eaten Brussels Sprouts, you need to know that they will give you smelly flatulence. You're welcome. Back to our regularly scheduled program.
The marinade used for the Brussels Sprouts gives them a sweet yet spicy flavor. If you prefer a little less spicy you can cut back on the red pepper flakes or leave them out completely.
Make sure you don’t skip the step where you keep the remaining marinade. Tossing the brussels sprouts in the marinade after they come out of the oven gives a little extra flavor. Delicious!
