Honey Dijon Brussel Sprouts

As I mentioned in my previous post, I bought a bunch of vegetables when I went food shopping this week. Among those were a beautiful stalk loaded with Brussel sprouts. My challenge was trying to find a recipe that would help me do justice to them. So of course I did a search, which yielded the usual ones. Some called to sautee them in garlic, others said add bacon. I had already tried that so it was only when I checked Instagram that I came across a recipe for coating the sprouts in a honey dijon concoction. 

If you have read this blog before, you know by now that I am not one to follow recipes exactly as noted (unless it is for baking and even then I figure out a way to differ). Here is the link to the original recipe  

Here is my list of ingredients and cooking instructions

1 lb Brussel sprouts (cleaned and cut in half)

1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil

1 1/2 Tbsp honey

1 Tbsp coarse dijon mustard

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fill a medium sauce pot with water and add saltto lightly season. Put your sprouts in and heat up until simmering. Cook your sprouts until tender.

While your sprouts are cooking, in a large bowl, mix the olive oil, honey, dijon mustard and garlic powder, until all ingredients are completely incorporated. 

Drain your cooked sprouts and then toss them in the honey dijon mixture, until evenly coated.

As an additional step, I put my sprouts into a baking dish and put them in my air fryer for about 10 minutes to give them a little crisp finish and intensify the mustard flavor. 

It turned out pretty well.
