Each year it seems the the holiday season sneaks up on me. Before long, I’m rushing to decorate our house, buy presents, and bake dozens of cookies.

Since I’m a personal chef, I’m always thinking about food. Therefore, there is one task I can easily check off my to do list; planning our holiday dinner menu. Our feast will include a spiral cut honey ham, these easy to make ahead cheddar stuffed potatoes, roasted carrot and parsnip fries, and my go-to side dish of Easy Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Honey and Mustard.

Roasting is so great for getting the most flavor out of vegetables. Don’t you love a cooking method where you can just pop the ingredients in the oven and let it do the work for you? The veggies get such a delicious and smoky char flavor.

the recipe details

Just a little prep is needed to get the Brussels sprouts ready for the oven.

Trim the stems and cut any large sprouts in half. Place the vegetables in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and a generous sprinkle of kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.

Roast on a large preheated baking sheet. As soon as the Brussels sprouts come out of the oven, toss them with honey and Dijon mustard. A sprinkle of bright red pomegranate arils and toasted pine nuts add a festive touch to the side dish.

suggestions and tips

• To get a nice char on the Brussels sprouts, heat the baking sheet while the oven is preheating. This step also ensures the vegetables do not stick to the pan.
• So all of the Brussels sprouts cook evenly, cut large sprouts in half.
• Do not overcook the vegetables. You want them tender but still holding their shape. No one likes mushy veggies.
• Easily toast the pine nuts in a skillet. Heat the pan over medium high. No need to add any oil or butter ~ nuts already contain enough oil on their own to toast. Add the nuts. Stir the nuts frequently. They are ready when the nuts are toasty brown in color ~ about 5 minutes. Be sure to remove the pine nuts from the pan as soon as they are done or they will continue to cook and may burn.
