Roasted Brussels sprouts with beer braised onions. These Brussels sprouts are perfectly charred without being overcooked on the inside, and that’s not even the best part. What really puts them over the top are the buttery, beer braised onions. Simple and fun to make, a crowd favorite side dish that’s ready in 30 minutes.

This recipe will make a Brussels lover out of anyone. And this is how we do it. While the Brussels are roasting, we melt some butter and caramelize the onions, then add maple syrup and brown beer to speed up the process. It only needs a little thyme, salt, and pepper, and done. Simple but mouthwatering and extremely addictive.
