Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove Brussels sprouts from the stock (if needed). Place Brussels sprouts in a bowl and rinse with water to remove any excess dirt. Pat dry with a towel.
Remove any damaged outer leaves and discard.
Chop the bottom portion of each Brussel sprout off with a knife and discard. Cut Brussels sprouts into halves or quarters depending on their size. Try to cut all the Brussels sprouts into relatively the same size.
Place the chopped Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet and drizzle them with 2 Tbsp. of olive oil.
Toss the sprouts in the oil and then sprinkle with 2 tsp. of garlic powder, ⅛ tsp. kosher salt and ¼ tsp. pepper over the top. Toss the sprouts until completely coated in the spices.
Place the pan in the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Remove the pan after 15 minutes.

Combine 3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup, 2 Tbsp. Tamari or Low Sodium Tamari, 1 tsp. sesame oil, 1 tsp. rice vinegar, and ½ tsp. Sriracha in a small bowl. Stir until completely combined with a fork or small whisk.
Pour the sauce over the Brussels sprouts and toss them in the glaze, so that they're evenly coated.
Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 4 minutes. Remove and toss the sprouts, so that they're evenly coated in the glaze before serving.
To Serve: Add a squeeze of lemon over the top to brighten up the flavor (optional) and garnish with sesame seeds (optional).

Feel free to use soy sauce in place of Tamari if gluten is not an issue for you.

Any seeds or nuts may be used in place of sesame seeds for garnish.

Nutritional information includes sesame seeds.

It's best to use pure maple syrup and not artificial maple syrup to make the glaze.
