Ingredients You’ll Need

How To Make Maple Dijon Brussels Sprouts
Delicious maple Dijon glazed Brussels sprouts roasted and then seared to perfection. 6 ingredients are all you need for this tangy-sweet-savory side dish! This recipe is so simple and takes about 35-40 minutes, including prep time.

- Pan Frying: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and whip another batch of the maple dijon sauce. Toss the roasted Brussels sprouts into the skillet, add the cashews if using, and drizzle half the marinade over everything. Toss or stir and cook until the marinade begins to caramelize and the Brussels sprouts begin to char just a bit.
