When I was 12, I made my mom promise she would never tell my friends who much I loved roasted brussel sprouts. I knew kids were supposed to hate them, but dang, roasted with a little maple syrup, there is nothing better (in the veggie world, at least). So, now I shout my love of brussel sprouts from the roof top. “Brussel sprouts, I love you!”
INGREDIENTS
