These easy maple-balsamic roasted Brussels sprouts will be your new go-to veggie side dish. Sweet Brussels sprouts are a natural pairing for maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. Starting them cut-side down maximizes the browning so each bite tastes roasted and sweet. Thyme adds an earthy flavor, but fresh rosemary or sage will work well too.
