Roasted Brussels sprouts are really popular right now and we eat them a lot in our house. Wanting to change up the flavors just a bit, I decided to add some sweet (maple) and sour (lemon). I think this is my new favorite way to eat them. I made them on the same night I made Spicy Butternut Squash Soup. The soup was a bit too spicy for me and I found myself taking bites of soup and sprouts together to tame some of the heat. Ultimately I dumped my entire plate of sprouts into the soup. I may eat it this way forever. Really good.
I've made this dish with the very small amount of oil listed below, and without. I'm listing it as optional because while you don't absolutely need it, I feel it does enhance the texture and flavor of the dish, while only adding a nominal amount of fat. Choice is yours.
