Preparation

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Preheat oven to 425°F and place a cookie sheet on the center rack. (This step is important because heating the baking sheet will make the Brussels sprouts even crispier!)
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the Brussels sprouts.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and place the Brussels sprouts on the sheet, cut side down. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, and finish by adjusting the temperature to broil for 2 minutes.

Maple and Balsamic Sauce

Place all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and reduce for 5 to 10 minutes, or until syrupy. Stir a few times.
Serve on Brussels sprouts with pomegranate seeds and parsley.
