This recipe is sure to make Brussels sprouts your favorite veggie! Roasting the sprouts makes them delectably crunchy and adds a slight smoky flavor, while the mustard sauce coats the sprouts in a tangy, peppery sweetness. Brussels sprouts are loaded with fiber, vitamins and antioxidants!
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet or tray with a silicone mat or lightly greased foil.
Place Brussels sprouts in a medium bowl. Drizzle with 3 tbsp of oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and mustard seed. Toss to coat the sprouts. Transfer to the baking sheet.
Roast for about 25 minutes until the sprouts are softened, browned and caramelized.
Meanwhile in a medium bowl, whisk together the mustards, vinegar, maple syrup and remaining 3 tbsp of oil.
Transfer the cooked sprouts to the bowl, toss to coat. Enjoy!
Instead of using Dijon mustard, you can use all grainy mustard if you want an even tangier dressing.
