Those maple roasted Brussels sprouts are a healthy and delicious side dish for winter. In my opinion, roasting Brussels sprouts in the oven is the best way to prepare them. Much more flavorful than just simmering them in hot water.
They turn out tender on the inside, crispy on the outside. Plus, there is not much to do once in the oven, so you can give your full attention to prepare the main dish.
Brussels sprouts are typically served as a vegetable holiday side dish for Christmas or Thanksgiving. But those veggies also make a great addition to almost any winter meal, not just on holidays. Brussels sprouts are packed with vitamin and minerals and therefore a wonderful vegetables side dish during winter.

Leftovers can easily be reheated in the oven or in a skillet. But you can also eat them cold as a salad. Simply toss them with a vinaigrette or your favorite salad dressing.
If you want to add a little more flavor to these oven roasted Brussels sprouts, add chopped chili peppers, red pepper flakes, thyme, rosemary, or a spice of your choice. Once it’s out of the oven, you drizzle them with lemon juice, sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese, pomegranate seeds, or tahini (mixed with ice water and lemon juice) for a variation. If you love it tangy, add some balsamic vinegar.
