Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite winter vegetables and I am always on the look out for interesting new recipes with them. Recently I came across one such recipe, a recipe for maple dijon roasted brussels sprouts on Culinary Cory which sounded so good that I just had to try it! Although it is faster and easier to cook brussels sprouts by steaming them or boiling them, my favorite way to cook them is to roast them. I like to roast pretty much any vegetable as it seems to concentrate their flavour and brussels sprouts are no exception. (Don’t be afraid to let the brussels sprouts brown a bit when roasting them as all of those brown bits are just packed with flavour.) The next thing that caught my attention about this recipe was the use of a maple dijon vinaigrette as maple and dijon is one of my favorite flavour combinations. I often like to add some grainy mustard to the mix as I really enjoy the texture that it adds. The roasted brussels sprouts with maple dijon vinaigrette turned out even better than I imagined! The sweet and tangy dressing went really well on the caramelized to perfection brussels sprouts and the toasted almonds added a nice contrasting texture. This may just be my new favorite way of enjoying brussels sprouts!

Kevin – I'm just like you, I LOVE roasting brussels sprouts (in fact, did it last night, but a much more simple olive oil-salt-pepper "recipe"). In fact, I think that the reason why so many people dislike brussels sprouts is because they've only eaten them steamed/boiled. By roasting them, they're an entirely different vegetable! This looks delish!
Chocolate Shavings says
Perfect way to prepare Brussels sprouts and the sweetness of the maple is a nice touch!
Patsyk says
sounds like a perfect way to prepare Brussels sprouts. I discovered roasting them last year and love letting them get those nice brown spots on them. Yum!
Kathleen says
Kevin, delicious sounding recipe and, as always, a fabulous photo! You are my idol. ;D
Christina says
Oh yum! I just roated brussel sprouts with maple syrup for the first time during Thanksgiving! I'll have to give this dijon twist a try, too since I loved those so much!
Rosa's Yummy Yums says
That is a heavenly combo! A really scrumptious recipe using one of my favorite winter veggies!
Cheers,

Eat My Tortes says
Brussels sprouts have such a undeserved bad reputation. They can be soooo good! My family has always been divided on the issue though. These look really yummy 🙂
AustralianFood says
I actually love brussels sprouts. But I can only eat them steamed, cut in half and then loads with garlic and butter. I'll have to try yours. They look divine.
♥peachkins♥ says
nice looking brussel sprouts!
Peter M says
I too have always enjoyed B-sprouts…a little sweet, a little savory.
Joanne says
I have definitely been on a brussels sprouts kick recently (we are talking intense cravings). Maple is delicious on any winter vegetable, I've concluded. This looks fabulous!
Zesty Cook says
So love this Kevin!!
Jenn Sutherland says

Just when I thought I had finished with my brussel sprout fixation this winter – this new method has to be tried. I trust your postings as I have never been disappointed in the results. Here in California, we can buy them still on the stalk – really fresh. Thank you once again.
Lo says
Lookin' good, Kevin! … though I might be just a little biased, since I have an absolute THING for roasted and/or browned/braised brussels sprouts. Nothing better in the world of winter veg!
pigpigscorner says
Sounds fantastic! sweet, sour and spicy!
Kalyn says
Now I wish I had some brussels sprouts! They look amazing.
Culinary Cory says
I'm so thrilled you tried my recipe! Love your picture it looks amazing.
Kevin says
Rachel: I don't think that I have ever had frozen brussels sprouts. I don't imagine that they would be too good for roasting though.
The Duo Dishes says
Sprouts never get old. You could serve them up anyway (except boiled!), and they'd be gobbled up!

Loving the brussel sprouts hopefully I can get some growing in the garden this year.
Rachel says
Kevin…I don't think I've ever seen fresh brussel sprouts here (Virginia Beach)….weird…LOL.

I will never eat brussels sprouts the same way again!

Just made this again, and I must repeat, this recipe is seriously out of this world! And whoever thought anyone would say that about brussels sprouts!
Lisa F. says
I can't wait to try this on sprouts, but I had green cabbage in the fridge, so I roasted that instead. Delicious!
srboisvert says
Made this tonight. Delicious
Dana says
I adore Brussels sprouts, so was delighted to try this recipe last night. It was a MAJOR hit with my husband (he's usually the one who cooks), and will be going into our collection of fave recipes. Yum! Thanks for a great intro to your blog – I'll be back!

My daughter made this for us a few years ago and since then, it's been a staple at our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners! Thanks for the great recipe!
expandmy horizons says
I have made this recipe so many times and I am convinced it's the best way to do these little gems. So good! I must admit I have never added almonds for no particular reason other than I don't have them on hand. That would probably put this recipe over the top so I'll put the almonds on my grocer list. Love your recipes, pictures and stories!
kevin says
expandmy horizons: I'm glad you like them! They are great both with and without the almonds!
Unknown says
I made this tonight and everybody loved it! Definitely a keeper! I will make this again, maybe even once a week.
