The sweetness of the dried apricots will even get kids to eat sprouts. If required, season food with salt and pepper right before serving.

Reviews
I think this is a good healthy recipe – especially when I see all the recipes with bacon, cream etc – this is simple, easy to cook and I think among the more healthy recipes
Since I was cooking for more than 1 child I decided to bake this. I scaled the recipe for 6 but only used 2 tbs of maple syrup and I baked it at 400F for 20 minutes. I think it could have used more apricots for the scaled version. I also think in the future I would shred the sprouts in the food processor. All in all, this is a good idea with a tasty result.
