Description
These Easy Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Honey and Mustard is one of my go-to side dishes. A sprinkle of toasted pine nuts and pomegranate arils make this a festive holiday side dish.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds of Brussels sprouts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- kosher salt
- pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate arils
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven.
- Wash the Brussels sprouts. Trim off the stem and cut in half any large Brussels sprouts.
- Place Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with kosher salt and pepper.
- Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Pour Brussels sprouts on to the pan making sure they are evenly spread out.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts for 15 to 17 minutes; shake the pan half way through the roasting time. The Brussels sprouts should be charred and slightly tender but, still hold their shape.
- Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with the honey and Dijon mustard. Toss to completely coat the Brussels sprouts.
- Sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts and pomegranate arils. Serve immediately.
Notes
- 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 hold their shape. No one likes mushy vegetables.
- 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 burn.
