Bushels of Brussel Sprouts Please

Growing up I thought brussel sprouts were used as a form
Of punishment.   Be rude - you must eat a brussel sprout.   Disobey - you must eat a few brussel sprouts . . .    My thoughts however have changed, I now quite like them.  And I am glad to report that my children actually like them. ( OKAY, not all of the girls but a few).   Here’s how we cook them:

These Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts are not only beyond easy to prepare, but I guarantee they will be gone in no time so make plenty!
