Now, I know what you are thinking. Brussels sprouts? Eewww! Nasty! And I used to agree with you. Then I found the recipe that became this one with a couple of small tweaks and now I really like Brussels sprouts. Well, I like them done this way. I hope you will, too.
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, remove any wonky leaves and cut the sprouts in half lengthwise
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (preferably real maple syrup, but the imitation stuff works too)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Heat the oven to 425 and cover a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss the sprouts with the oil and optional salt and arrange them cut-side down, on the baking sheet.
Bake for 25 minutes, then return them to the bowl, add the maple syrup and soy sauce, and spread them back in the pan. Pop them back in the oven and roast them for five more minutes. Remove from the oven and enjoy.
Please note that the foil or parchment paper is for ease of cleaning the baking sheet. If you don't have or don't want to use foil or parchment paper, please lube your baking sheet with additional olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
Also also, in most of the recipes I will be posting, the salt is optional. I have high blood pressure and have learned to cook without salt. Sometimes food will punish you if you have no salt in it, other times it's not necessary.
