Brussels sprout season is upon us! And these green baby cabbages are ready to make lots of appearances on your table over the next several months.

So. Allow me to introduce you to today’s maple mustard roasted brussels sprouts. AKA the brussels sprout recipe that you’re going to want to make allll season long.

Now, I am that person who will eat brussels sprouts just about any which way. Roasted, sautéed, caramelized, sliced up raw.

But! I realize that not everyone loves these little green sprouts quite as much as I do. Which is where today’s recipe comes into play.

Between a crazy flavorful maple mustard sauce and the crispy, caramelized texture from roasting in the oven, I have a feeling that this dish could possibly convert even those of you who are self proclaimed brussels sprout haters.

It’s a touch sweet, plenty savory and has allll the things going for it when it comes to texture – crunchy, crispy, tender.

Not to mention that it’s super quick and easy to pull together. Making it a perfect side dish for a regular weeknight dinner OR for a big thanksgiving feast. <— Yup, I went there. Turkey day here we come.

Tips & Tricks For These Maple Mustard Brussels Sprouts

  1. Use your judgment when cutting the brussels sprouts – you want them all to be about the same size so that they roast evenly in the oven. Typically I find I need to halve or quarter, but lately I’ve had bunches with massive sprouts (which I end up cutting into sixths). Or, if you have teeny tiny sprouts, you can just trim the end off and leave whole. Again, use your judgment!
  2. I would highly encourage you to keep any of the little leaves that fall off the sprouts when cutting – i.e. add them to the baking sheet. They get so awesomely charred and crispy after roasting – SO GOOD!
  3. For those of you who do not follow a vegan diet, you can absolutely use honey in place of the maple syrup for some honey mustard flavor action. Also a delicious combo!
  4. Feel free to substitute in raw pecans for the walnuts depending on what you have on hand. You can’t go wrong either way.

How To Store

While I adore these brussels sprouts fresh out of the oven (those crispy leaves!), they do make for an excellent make ahead / meal prep dish.

Let the sprouts cool completely then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
