Baked Brussels Sprouts with Butter
8 servings
45 minutes
Oven-roasted Brussels sprouts with butter is a simple yet sophisticated dish that embodies the French love for natural flavors. Historically, Brussels sprouts were considered a court vegetable in France, and roasting them with butter reveals the depth of caramelized flavor. Prepared this way, they acquire a tender texture with a crispy crust, while maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness that contrasts with the slight bitterness of the sprouts. Perfect as a side dish for meat or fish and also as a standalone dish. This recipe combines simplicity and refinement, making it an excellent choice for both everyday dinners and festive gatherings.
