Honey Mustard Glazed Brussels Sprouts

Consider this my love letter to Brussels sprouts as they are now out of season. I don’t know why the idea of using my favorite dressing as a glaze to roast vegetables didn’t come to me sooner! Honey mustard is my all-time favorite flavoring for any snack. The perfect marriage between sweet and savory! This dressing is so versatile. I went with Brussels sprouts this time, but you can marinate any protein or roast any vegetable with this dressing, so go to town! And of course, it can be used as a salad dressing.
The flavors in this dressing don’t overpower eachother and the vinegar really helps balance both elements out. You can also adjust the sweetness level, taste as you go. Keep in mind to use good quality mustard paste. It shouldn’t be too pale and there should be visible specks of hulled mustard seeds. Because of the garlic, this recipe lasts in the fridge for up to 3 days, but if you don’t add the garlic, it can last weeks refrigerated! You can grate a bit of garlic everytime you want to use it.
