Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Maple Syrup and Bacon make a marvelous addition to any meal. Here in the Diva house, we eat them from the moment I feel the first nip in the air… all the way until spring…
Maple syrup has a sensuousness that other condiments just can’t match. It conveys decadence by its very existence – a product of boiled tree sap that turns magically sweet on the stovetop. It has a lusciousness with an almost magical power that excels at elevating the deliciousness of so many things. Clearly, I adore maple syrup and when it’s combined with delicious Brussel sprouts and crispy bacon, my world is complete. These will become your new healthy addiction and I guarantee that you will be popping these in your mouth – one after another. Enjoy!
