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!
