By BBAUNTIE

WEIGHT WATCHERS RECIPE BUT WOULD NEVER KNOW IT.

Ingredients

• 2 spray(s) cooking spray
• 2 pound(s) uncooked Brussels sprouts, trimmed
• 2 Tbsp olive oil, extra-virgin
• 2 1/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
• 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a large nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray.

Slice Brussels sprouts in half, if large; place on prepared baking sheet. Add oil, 2 teaspoons salt and pepper; toss well to coat. Roast, stirring and rotating pan halfway through cooking, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine vinegar, maple syrup and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan; set over medium-high heat. Boil, stirring frequently, until thick and syrupy, about 3 minutes.

Spoon Brussels sprouts into a serving dish; drizzle with syrup mixture just before serving. Yields about a heaping 3/4 cup per serving.
