What’s good for me in this dish?
Brussels sprouts top the charts in vitamins K and C. They also contain folate, vitamin A, manganese, and lots of fiber. They provide cancer protection in the form of sulfur containing phytonutrients called “sulforaphane.” Brussels sprouts lower your risk of bladder, prostate, colorectal and lung cancer. They are also good for detoxification and cleansing.

We just started eating them this year. They were inexpensive at the local farmers market, so I decided to give them a try.
I think the maple syrup and Dijon sound like a great way to sweeten and flavor Brussels sprouts.

We had the same experience. Now I’m always looking for recipes that use them.

I was never a fan of brussels sprouts till I had them roasted with olive oil, kosher salt and pepper. Look forward to kicking it up the next time I make them with the mustard and maple syrup!

I’m with you. I love them now, but it took having them roasted and not steamed to mush to really appreciate them.
Brussels sprouts are on my top 5 list. We are trying to grow them, and have beautiful little seedlings, but not much else. Love your recipe! Robin

I tried to grow them this last season. I had great stocks with lots of mini sprouts, but they never got big. I think I didn’t have the right conditions. I’ll try again next year!
I love Brussels sprouts, But I’m the only one in the family who does. love the recipe:)
.-= Laura´s last blog ..Vegetarian Chili =-.
We just recently discovered how great they are. I was l listening to a podcast today where the cook steamed them, the sauted them with salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg. Sounded interesting. I’ll have to give it a try. Your chili sounds fantastic!
I actually love B-sprouts, Momma Rim. But, these sound absolutely incredible. And, a sure-fire hit with the Cavekids.
