Honey-Dijon Brussel Sprouts

I found a great brussel sprouts recipe so I thought I'd share!  Sorry I didn't take a picture, but trust me it's yummy looking (and tasting).

Ingredients:
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 cup boiling water
2 T honey
1 T olive oil
1 T Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 lb fresh brussel sprouts, trimmed and halved (or quartered)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (optional, really)

Directions:
1)  Preheat oven to 375.  Soak the cranberries in 1 cup boiling water for 5 mins to plump them up; drain.

2)  In a large bowl, combine the honey, oil, mustard, salt, and pepper.  Add the soaked cranberries, brussel sprouts, and walnuts (if using).  Toss to coat.

3)  Spread the dressed brussel sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.  Roast for 30 mins or until sprouts are tender and leaves just begin to brown.

I threw this baby in the oven at the same time as a lovely garlic-roasted whole chicken and a pan of baby red potatoes and carrots tossed with olive oil and herbes de provence.  We spread our roasted garlic on Italian bread and had ourselves a feast!  Mmmm...

  1. As it happens, I have some CSA brussel sprouts in the fridge waiting for me to figure out what to do with them. Thanks for this!
