Simple & Delicious Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts

Submitted by The Simple Recipe D

"So easy to make and so tasty that even people who don't like brussels sprouts may convert! I've always wanted to like brussels sprouts. They're so cute! But no matter what recipe I tried, they tasted awful. I must have tried just about every technique in the book to make them edible to me and nothing worked ... until last Christmas when brussels sprouts were offered and I tried them. They were glazed with maple syrup -- something I would never have tried in a million years if I hadn't eaten them first. I never got the recipe from last Christmas, but I found this one and tried it at Thanksgiving and it was AWESOME! This will forever be my go-to brussels sprouts recipe. Enjoy!"
