Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Brussels sprouts alongside roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, plant-based roasts, or your favourite holiday main course. They make a colourful side dish for autumn dinners, Christmas, and Thanksgiving.
Recipe Notes
Halving the Brussels sprouts creates more surface area for browning and allows the mustard glaze to coat them evenly. Arrange them in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet so they roast instead of steaming.
Variations
Add smoked paprika or chilli flakes for extra warmth. Fresh thyme or rosemary adds an aromatic autumn flavour. For extra acidity, add a small splash of balsamic vinegar or fresh lemon juice just before serving.
Storage
Allow leftovers to cool before transferring them to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to three days. Reheat in a hot oven or air fryer to restore the caramelized edges.
Wine Advice
A lightly oaked Chardonnay complements the sweet mustard glaze and roasted garlic. A crisp Sauvignon Blanc is a fresher alternative that balances the sweetness of the agave.
