Notes
How to cut them to make sure they come out crispy:
- First de-stem them. To do this, simply cut the bottom off the Brussels sprouts (when raw) but take more than you need to.
- Some of the leaves should fall off and that's exactly what you want!
- Then, slice them in half and into quarters. You want them small.
- Finally, when the Brussels sprouts are in the bowl, toss them a bit with your hands. The more leaves that fall off and the smaller the actual sprouts, the crispier the maple-roasted Brussels sprouts will come out.
