Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Apples and Maple Mustard Dressing
Description
This recipe for Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Apples and Maple Mustard Dressing starts by halving fresh Brussels sprouts and roasting them at 450°F, which crisps the outsides and softens the interiors while deepening their flavor. Olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper help enhance caramelization and seasoning. Meanwhile, diced apple provides a fresh, juicy element that contrasts with the sprouts’ earthiness.
The dressing blends apple cider vinegar’s tanginess, the grainy texture and mild heat of whole grain mustard, and the subtle sweetness of maple syrup, balanced with olive oil and seasoning to complement both the sprouts and apples. Tossed together, this combination creates a warm, inviting side dish with varied textures and a layered taste profile.
This dish can be served alongside roasted meats or as part of a holiday meal. The sharpness of the vinegar and mustard cut through the richness of the sprouts and oil, while the maple and apple add a seasonal sweetness. Roasting time is key to achieve the right crispness and flavor, and flipping the sprouts halfway ensures even cooking.
