It’s maple season! So, pour maple syrup on everything!

On second thought, putting maple syrup on everything might not be such a great idea, but you might be surprised at how well it goes with brussels sprouts.

It helps cut the bitterness of the brussels sprouts and the paprika adds a little spice to the dish. The result is a simple dish with just a few ingredients that complement each other really well plus this baby is packed with more flavor than you’d imagine.

Great For A Potluck

This is a great Paleo side dish for preparing for a holiday or gathering. I have prepared this dish many times before but most recently for our Paleo Thanksgiving dinner.

However, you don’t have to wait to serve this only one day a year. It pairs well with any fall dish and because it’s slightly sweet, it’s a great way to get those vegetables served to your kids or maybe a picky adult eater. If you have little ones who don’t want to touch anything resembling a plant, they may take a bite when you tell them you’ve added one of Elf‘s favorite foods!

Just A Spoonful of Sugar

If you’re worried about the sugar content of this recipe with the maple syrup, don’t be. I used just enough to provide that awesome maple flavor, without overpowering the other ingredients. There’s enough fat and veggies in here that the sugar shouldn’t be a problem, especially since maple syrup is lower on the glycemic index than cane sugar to begin with.

Yield: 8-10 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2.5lbs brussels sprouts
  • 1/4 cup bacon fat, melted
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, grade B
  • coarse ground sea salt, to taste
  • paprika, to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Chop off the hard end and peel any unfavorable pieces for each of the brussels sprouts. Slice each one into 3-4 pieces.
  3. In a 4.8 quart glass baking dish add the sliced brussels sprouts.
  4. Pour the melted bacon fat and maple syrup evenly across all the vegetables.
  5. Season with a sprinkle of sea salt and paprika. Toss the mixture to coat the fat and seasonings evenly then transfer the dish to the oven.
  6. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until brussels sprouts are tender and slightly browned.
  7. Remove from oven and serve.
  8. Enjoy! :)
