Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 pounds brussels sprouts trimmed and cut into halves or fourths lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- ¼ cup apple butter room temperature
- 3 tablespoons stone ground Dijon mustard
- ½ cup green apple diced in ¼ inch pieces
- ½ cup candied pecans halves
Instructions
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and preheat oven to 400°.
- On a baking sheet, place brussels sprouts and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until tender and brown, tossing halfway through cooking.
- In a small bowl combine apple butter and dijon mustard. Place mixture in the bottom of a serving bowl. Next place roasted brussels on top. Add in diced apple and candied pecans. Toss when ready to serve.
Notes
- Chose fresh, firm, bright, Brussels sprouts that are intact with outer leaves.
- Wash and pat dry. Leaving them wet will prohibit them from crisping like you want them to.
- Trim off the ends - they are tough! Slice lengthwise in uniform sizes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Make on layer on the sheet pan when baking.
