Maple roasted Brussels sprout

Maple roasted Brussels sprout
Once winter sets in roasted vegetables are such a delightful addition to the meals. Lots of veggies, warmth from the oven and the kind of attention the kitchen gets feels like home. I guess this is the whole reason why these are the top-rated recipes for the holiday season and thanksgiving.
Among the roasted veggies, one of my personal favourites is Brussels sprouts. Hence tend to add a bit more of the sprouts to this maple roasted Brussels sprouts recipe when other veggies are added.

Brussels sprouts-what are they?

The edible buds of the Gemmifera cultivar belonging to the cabbage family are Brussels sprouts. The slightly green tight leafy buds are  Obviously,  the name gives away where it was popularly grown. It comes on a long stock, but at the supermarket, you may just get the buds. ( source)
The sprouts unfortunately carry a bad rep for being bitter and unpleasant. Predominantly,  this comes from over boiling them, which releases the sulphurous compounds and the unpleasant taste.

How to prep some Brussels sprouts?

The loose outer leaves and excess stem are clipped away and these easily burn while roasted leaving an unpleasant taste. Soak the sprouts in water for about 5 minutes, wash them and set them to drain. Pat dry and the sprouts are ready for use.

How do these roasted Brussels sprout taste?

Brussels sprouts tend to become soft in the centre when roasted, yet the outer leaves are crisp. This combines with the sweetness from the maple and a few spicy hints from paprika take off any bitterness that you may expect from this vegetable. The end result is slightly smokey, slightly sweet complexity of flavour. If you are still on the fence, try it and don’t be scared of this lovely vegetable. We have lovingly sorted out a  baked pasta recipe too that incorporated brussels sprouts along with broccoli.

Ingredients for this maple roasted Brussels sprout.

There are no exotic ingredients needed for this recipe as the star is just the Brussels sprouts. Once the sprouts have been cleaned and prepped, it is just slicing them in half. Good quality coconut oil and sea salt is what you need next. I like flaky sea salt for this recipe as it has a depth of mineral content than table salt. The maple syrup fragrance while baking will remove any unpleasant odours while the sprouts cook. It will also take away the slight bitterness that these sprouts may have. Then to spice it all up the faint hint of paprika that last hits the mouth make all the difference in flavour. This is all you need to make this roasted Brussels sprout recipe. 
To add to the festive table my choice will also be the Pan-roasted seitan.

What more to add to these maple roasted Brussels sprout?

Nuts – walnuts or pecans chopped or broken bits of nuts after roasting the Brussels sprouts add so much crunch and nutrition. The subtle sweetness of maple works with the nuts really well.
Sweet potato – The soft roasted sweet potato is by far the best add on roots vegetable to this roast. I love the colours of the two together as it just screams autumn for me.

Furthermore, you can add carrots, parsnips, cauliflower too to make this a huge bowl of roast. If you pass the bowl to me, I will still pick out all the brussels sprouts before I choose the others.

I remember I had this sprouts in my last visit to Australia 3 yrs back. Seriously that time I really don’t like it much but after seeing your recipe my mind changed it about the sprouts. Your roasted brussels sprouts with maple syrup sounds so flavourful.
