Chef's Tips
For extra crispy Brussels sprouts, don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute with honey or a pinch of sugar.
Add a sprinkle of toasted nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for added crunch.

Easy"A Blackberry Fool is a classic British dessert that's light, fruity, and subtly sweet, making it an ideal ending to the meal. The tartness of the blackberries cuts through the richness of the olive oil in the main course, and the creamy texture contrasts nicely with the roasted vegetables. The crumbled shortbread adds a buttery, crumbly element that complements both the fruit and the savory flavors."
