With a hint of pure maple syrup, garlic, and caramelized onions, these sprouts are a crowd-pleaser that even picky eaters will enjoy

Ingredients:

500g brussel sprouts
½ white onion
1 garlic clove
1 tsp cracked black pepper
Pinch of fine sea salt
Pure maple syrup

Method:

Place the Brussel sprouts into a bowl. Discard any damaged, loose and yellowing leaves. Trim the base of the sprouts (Be careful not to trim too much off or more leaves will fall off)
Cut any that are too big into bite-size pieces. Leave the tiny or smaller sprouts whole. Once sprouts are all uniform size wash well to remove any debris.
In a medium satué pan, add a small amount of water to parboil the sprouts. Allow the water to heat up until tiny bubbles form. Salt the water and add the Brussel sprouts to steam/simmer for 3-5 minutes.
While the Brussel sprouts steam, dice the onion and garlic. Heat a little oil in a saucepan and cook down the onions and garlic until soft. Remove from the heat.
When the sprouts are ready, they should be bright green and soft. Remove from the heat and drain the water.

Add the Brussel sprouts to the onion and garlic saucepan, and stir to even the onions, garlic and Brussels sprouts. Add a pinch of sea salt, a generous pour of maple syrup and black pepper and mix thoroughly.
