Maple Glazed Brussel Sprouts with Chestnuts
This brussel sprout recipe is a show stopper! I have been able to convert so many brussel sprout haters with this recipe. I don’t blame them for hating brussel sprouts if they have only had steamed or boiled sprouts. Roasting them at a high heat brings out the natural sugars and then we enhance them with maple syrup and naturally sweet chestnuts.

- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

- Trim the outside leaves and stem from the Brussels sprouts and slice in half or thirds depending on size.
- Toss brussel sprouts in a bowl with olive oil and maple syrup. Salt and pepper while tossing. Add chestnuts and spread on a sheet pan with either non-stick foil or silpat.
