Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Roasted Brussels Sprouts: this recipe usually converts people from disliking them to loving them 

and its really simple.

Ingredients

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

One stalk of Brussels Sprouts ( for some reason they are much cheaper in the stalk)

4 to 5 tablespoons Olive Oil

3 tablespoons of minced Garlic

1 Shallot minced (optional)

1 tablespoon Maple Flakes

1 to 2 tablespoon Maple Syrup

Salt and Pepper to Taste 

Remove sprouts from stalk: its really easy, just bend them back from the top down. 

Keep the stalk: i cut it cup and freeze it to use in stocks.

Cut Brussels Sprouts in half, place in a bowl with Olive Oil, Garlic, Shallot (if using),

Salt and Pepper :  toss to combine

I usually let the mixture sit for at least an hour, tossing it a few times during that time

Next place in a bake dish and sprinkle the Maple Flakes on top. 

I use Tonewood out of Vermont, go to 

www.tonewoodmaple.com

To order them online or find a location near you to buy them.

I like Tonewood since its just Maple Syrup, some other flakes have added un-natural things ...

Place Brussels Spouts in the oven and roast for about an hour, tossing them a few times during that time, 10 minutes before they are done, drizzle the Maple Syrup on them and place back in the oven.
