No maple? Use honey (not vegan) or reduce balsamic vinegar to 2 tsp.
Extra crispy: Roast on a preheated metal pan (no parchment) for deeper browning.
Alternate Methods:
• Air Fryer: 390°F (200°C) — sweet potatoes 8–10 min; add sprouts for another 8–10 min, shaking halfway; glaze after.
• Stovetop: Sauté sweet potatoes 8–10 min, add sprouts/onion 6–8 min until tender, finish with glaze.
• Slow Cooker: Combine all (no glaze), cook HIGH 2–3 hrs until tender; broil 2–3 min to color, glaze before serving.
