Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and let it warm for about 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and glossy. Set aside.
- Add olive oil to the hot skillet. Once shimmering, place Brussels sprouts cut side down in a single layer.
- Let the sprouts sear undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes until deeply golden on the bottom.
- Flip the sprouts, pour in the maple-mustard butter mixture, and stir gently to coat. Cover and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sprouts are tender and glazed.
- Remove lid and cook uncovered for 2 more minutes to thicken the sauce slightly and get extra caramelization.
- Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle any extra sauce over the top. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh Brussels sprouts for best flavor and texture.
- Try whole grain mustard for extra texture and flavor depth.
- To make it vegan, simply swap in plant-based butter.
- Double the recipe for larger gatherings but cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
