Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Ingredients:

12 oz of Brussels sprouts, halved

2 tbsp. olive oil

A pinch of salt and pepper

A handful of walnuts

A handful of dried cranberries

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

2 tbsp. maple syrup

(This creates four servings)

Instructions:

Prep your brussels sprouts. Cut off the base of the brussel sprout, remove the outer leaves, and cut it in half vertically. Turn on some music or a good show and go to town.

Then, the brussels get tossed in olive oil and roast in the oven, cut side down, until they are nice and crispy. The walnuts get added for the last minute for a little toasting. The cranberries join the cool-down party.

And finally, the sauce gets added directly to the pan. And by sauce, I mean an eyeballed little squirt of Dijon mustard and a solid drizzle of maple syrup (if you like things tangy, maybe a little balsamic vinegar too?). Get a little more olive oil, salt, and pepper up in there, maybe some red pepper flakes if you like things spicy.
