NOTES

1. Adapted from Kevin is Cooking's Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts and WeightWatcher's Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Maple Balsamic Drizzle.
2. When picking Brussels sprouts, make sure they are firm, compact, and bright green. The smaller Brussels sprouts are often more tender and flavourful.
3. If the glaze gets too thick, add a little more balsamic vinegar to the saucepan at medium-high heat and whisk until you get your desired consistency.
