ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS DRIZZLED WITH HONEY AND SESAME SEEDS

 

There are probably thousands of roasted Brussels sprouts recipe out there and many of them I have tried. This one has been the only one that me and many others that I have served to have truly enjoyed. What I love about this particular recipe is that I can alternate between honey and maple syrup, they both taste so good. When I have my vegan friends over, they are never disappointed with the maple syrup version of this.  The honey not only adds sweetness to the recipe but also helps the sesame seeds to stick to every bite of those Brussels sprouts. I really hope you enjoy this recipe just as much as we do in our family.

Notes
  1. Brussels Sprouts: Just like cauliflower and cabbage, rinse the sprouts after cutting them. This will remove any pest or dirt in the Brussels sprouts.
  2. Honey and maple syrup: Can be replaced with maple syrup. When purchasing honey or maple syrup, that I would insist you read your label. Some brands to make their products more affordable, especially in the case of maple syrups, add corn syrup or some other sweetener that is NOT natural. Now with honey, if you can find a local beekeeper, may I say he or she is a keeper. You know the source and you know it's good. If you are not as fortunate, look for a honey that is domestically produced in the country that you reside in, it's just that simple.
