Featured Recipe: Mustard Grilled Sprouts

It’s crazy to me that Brussel sprouts have earned such a bad rap. Even though as a kid, I, too, judged them unfairly, now I’m pretty sure these misunderstood little vegetables are my very favorite. My guess is that people have just been cooking them wrong all these years.   Forget boiling… it’s all about getting that crispy roasted outside and tender inside. And for that perfectly balanced texture it’s best to use the oven or grill. Even simply seasoned, they taste delish, but here is a recipe that will add a little extra zest of flavor!

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb brussel sprouts washed and ends trimmed
  • 2 T mustard
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 T fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste
