Maple-Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Maple-roasted Brussels sprouts offer a delicious balance of savory and sweet flavors. The Brussels sprouts caramelize during roasting, enhanced by the earthy sweetness of maple syrup and the smoky notes of paprika. The drizzle of balsamic vinegar at the end adds a tangy finish that complements the dish perfectly. These maple-roasted Brussels sprouts are versatile, serving as a side dish or a hearty breakfast bowl component when paired with eggs and toast.

Quick tip: For a fun twist, sprinkle with toasted nuts or seeds for added crunch!
