Balsamic Maple Brussel Sprouts

Ingredients:

• 1 pound brussels sprouts

• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil

• ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper

Glaze:

• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

• 4 teaspoons honey

• 5 Tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup

• 1 Tablespoon Water

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Trim the bottom of the sprouts and cut in half lengthwise. If you have a really large one, cut into quarters.

3. Place in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper.

4. Gently toss the brussels sprouts so all sides of the sprouts are covered with the oil.

5. Place on a baking sheet lined with tin foil or parchment paper.

6. Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the brussels sprouts are a deep golden brown color on the outside and soft on the inside.

7. While brussels sprouts are in the oven, make the Balsamic - Maple glaze. Combine balsamic, honey, syrup and water in a small pan. Cook over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Stir regularly until mixture begins to thicken. Look for a thin syrup consistency.

8. When brussels sprouts are done, remove from oven and place on a serving dish. Drizzle glaze over sprouts and serve.
