- This is one of those recipes that works best when roasted on a simple baking sheet. I like using an older baking sheet that is not lined with parchment paper for successful vegetable roasting.
- Stir or shake the roasting Brussels sprouts periodical while they bake. This will assure that they get evenly baked .
- You will know when your sprouts are done roasting when they begin to brown on the outside. They should be crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
How to prepare the Brussels sprouts.
If you are using frozen sprouts that come in a bag, they are probably already in good shape.
However, you should have these sprouts defrosted for even roasting.
For this recipe, the Brussels sprouts should be cut in half.
Remove any outer leaves from the sprouts.
Also, cut of the brown ends if they are still attached.
I was once asked why are my roasted Brussel sprouts bitter.
Overcooking or overbaking can certainly cause Brussels sprouts to taste bitter.
However, we are adding maple syrup to these spouts which can help mask that if it happens to your sprouts.
