This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used fresh Brussels sprouts from my garden and they were delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of Brussels sprouts. However, I'm so glad I did! The sprouts were roasted to perfection and the glaze was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.
