Brussels Sprouts are one of those foods you hated as a kid. Truth is, you were seriously missing out because these little guys can pack amazing nutrients and flavor! These Maple Sriracha Brussels bring a heat and sweet savory goodness to your taste buds. I always like to balance out my seasonings - a little sweet and a little spicy.

I especially love this recipe because I get to play with my spice blends from The Spice Diva. This female-owned spice boutique in Charlottesville has an extensive collection of the basics and offers a few housemade blends. I toss in their Sriracha Chili Blend to take this dish up a notch.
