Honey Mustard Roasted Brussel Sprouts

by Leanne Foreman

Forget the over boiled Brussel sprouts that Nana used to serve. This easy Honey Mustard Roasted Brussel Sprouts recipe will change your view on Brussel sprouts forever.

Ingredient Shopping for Honey Mustard Roasted Brussel Sprouts

When choosing fresh Brussel sprouts, look for bright green outer leaves and no browning on the stems.

For a Vegan version, choose maple syrup instead of honey.

Wholegrain Mustard can be substituted with Dijon Mustard.

Preparation Tips for Brussel Sprouts

When trimming the ends of the Brussel sprouts, trim the bare minimum if any at all. If too much is trimmed away the Brussel sprout will break apart into separate leaves.

If you want less cleaning up of the roasting tray, use a larger bowl for mixing everything together, then tip the coated Brussel sprouts into the roasting tray. This way you get less up the sides than when mixing in the roasting tray.

A heavy-based tray, like the enamelled cast iron one I have used, will help with faster browning. If you don’t have a heavy-based tray and the Brussel sprouts aren’t browned enough by the time they are tender enough, you can brown them under the grill for a very short time.

 

Marinated Roasted Eggplant

by Leanne Foreman for Millen Farm

The lemon and herbs help this Marinated Roasted Eggplant go so well in an Italian panino (sandwich), or as a side dish for a picnic lunch. One of my friends, who usually doesn’t like eggplant, likes it heated up as a side dish with Roast Chicken.

This recipe is the first of the year for Millen Farm, where I am now volunteering as the recipe developer for the beautiful organic foods in season.

 

Ingredients

Globe eggplants are usually big, black, and bulbous like a light globe. They should be firm and shiny with a green, not shrivelled, stem.

Lemon juice can be substituted with Apple Cider vinegar for a stronger pickled flavour.

Thyme can be replaced with oregano leaves.

I have used mild green chillies, however, the choice is yours as to whether you prefer it hotter. Red chillies give a pleasing colour contrast.

 

Cooking Tips

Instead of roasting in the oven the eggplant can also be pan-fried on the stovetop or barbequed on a grill. In fact, the grill lines make this a more attractive dish.
