I love this easy holiday side dish! Tasty Brussels sprouts baked to perfection in a tangy-sweet marinade of maple syrup & balsamic vinaigrette… YES! I tried my hardest to make this dish look pretty but it just wasn’t having it 😉 (Sometimes it’s the unphotogenic food that tastes best, right!?)

How to Serve Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Enjoy this dish is, or garnish with pecans and dried cranberries before serving to add some festive flavor and eye appeal. (Highly recommend both of these additions!) And don’t forget to drizzle the leftover maple-balsamic goodness over the top before serving for an extra boost of flavor!
