Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Steamed Brussels sprouts of the past will never compare to these caramelized little gems.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups Brussels sprouts, washed, stems trimmed, and any discoloured outer leaves peeled away
• 1 teaspoon honey or 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
• ¼ cup of any chopped nut or seed like pumpkin seeds

PREPARATION

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Slice the Brussels sprouts in half.
• In a medium bowl, toss the sprouts with the oil and salt.
• Arrange them on the baking sheet, flat-side down.
• Place in the oven.
• Meanwhile, in the same medium bowl, mix together the honey/maple syrup and the lemon juice/vinegar.
• After 15 minutes or when the sprouts are golden brown, remove them from the oven. Let cool for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the sprouts to the bowl with the dressing and toss until coated.
• Sprinkle with the chopped nuts or seeds and serve.
