Honey Dijon Balsamic Brussels Sprouts

One of my favorite vegetables is Brussels sprouts. This hasn’t always been the case. I can remember a time when I wouldn’t have eaten a Brussels sprout to save my you know what but thankfully that has changed. Some years ago I decided to dive in and try Brussels sprouts again. I picked up some fresh sprouts at my local farm stand. When I got home I decided to make this simple recipe for Honey Dijon Balsamic Brussels Sprouts.

Roasting Brussels sprouts or any vegetable really (along with some fruits too) is fast, easy and brings out their natural sweetness. We topped the warm, roasted Brussels sprouts with a homemade Honey Dijon Balsamic Vinaigrette. Needless to say the Brussels sprouts turned out fantastic and the homemade vinaigrette was the cherry on the top. We love anything honey Dijon, add some balsamic vinegar and its pure magic.

Give Brussels Sprouts Chance 

If it’s been sometime since you last tried Brussels sprouts, rediscover this vegetable and give sprouts a second chance. You might be pleasantly surprised like I was. Now I eat Brussels sprouts all the time. Roasted, steamed, sautéed, or shredded, anyway you prepared sprouts, they’re delicious. In the summertime Brussels sprouts are great threaded on skewers along with meat along with other vegetables and grilled. Talk about good!

Try Something New

For this recipe and any recipe that calls for Dijon mustard, we always use the best. The best would be, in our opinion, Maille Gourmet Mustard.  Watermelon with Balsamic Reduction is a super great way to serve a balsamic vinegar reduction. Never tried a balsamic reduction before, you don’t know what you’re missing! It’s absolutely delicious on watermelon.
