Such an easy side dish for Thanksgiving and throughout the holiday season. These Brussels sprouts are roasted until golden, then drizzled with a yummy maple-balsamic glaze and roasted until caramelized. The flavors pair especially well with turkey, chicken, or pork. It’s sure to become a go-to side dish, this time of year.  Each ¾ cup serving has 105 calories and 4 grams of fat.

Healthy Benefits
Brussels sprouts contain good amounts of vitamin A, C, folic acid and fiber.
Shopping Tips
Choose Brussels sprouts that are firm, compact, and have bright green buds.  The smaller the sprouts the more tender they will be.  I found them at Trader Joe’s in a 16 oz bag in the produce section.
