Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (verify GF)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a large bowl, combine the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with the extra virgin olive oil, ensuring each sprout is lightly coated. This will help them crisp up beautifully in the oven.
- 2
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic (if using) to create a flavorful dressing. The mustard adds a subtle tang that complements the earthy Brussels sprouts.
- 3
Add the prepared dressing to the bowl with the Brussels sprouts and toss everything together thoroughly until the sprouts are evenly coated. Make sure the seasonings are distributed well for consistent flavor in every bite.
- 4
Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows for optimal air circulation, which is crucial for achieving those desirable crispy edges. Roast for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender on the inside and beautifully caramelized and golden brown on the outside, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
- 5
Once roasted to perfection, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven. They should have a slightly softened texture with delightfully crispy, browned edges and a rich aroma. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed before serving immediately as a delicious side dish.

Tips & Notes
- Use a good-quality extra-virgin olive oil here — the flavor comes through in simple recipes.
- Press or mince garlic rather than slicing for a more pungent flavor; slice for a milder taste.
- Dress salads just before serving to keep the greens crisp; keep dressing separate if making ahead.
