    I saw some gorgeous brussels sprouts at the market today, so I decided to come up with a way to cook them to go with the shrimp that I made tonight.

    I basically made a flavored vinaigrette and tossed them in it, roasted them, stirred in some capers, and then roasted them a little more. They turned out spectacularly!

    This was super easy and really burst with flavor. The tanginess from the mustard, vinegar and capers was bright and wonderful.

    And I love those little bits where the brussels sprouts get a little dark and crispy. I'll definitely be making these beauties again. Yum!

    Description

    Tossing Brussels sprouts in a quick vinaigrette before roasting them in the oven is a great way to add flavor to this side dish recipe.


    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 1 ½ pounds brussels sprouts
    • ⅓ cup olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon coarse ground mustard
    • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
    • kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
    • 1 tablespoon nonpareil capers, drained

    Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
    2. In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together the oil, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
    3. Trim root ends off of the brussels sprouts, remove the outermost leaves, and cut in half lengthwise. Toss the brussels sprouts into the bowl with the vinaigrette and stir well to combine. Pour the coated brussels sprouts onto a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 15 minutes.
    4. Remove the pan from the oven, stir the sprouts around, and spread them back out into a single layer.
    5. Sprinkle the capers over top and return to the oven to roast for another 10 minutes. Serve warm.

      I love brussels and mustard together but the capers take them to a whole new level!

      Yeah, I dunno what made me want to throw capers in there, but I was afraid they'd burn if I left them in the whole time. 10 minutes seemed to be perfect!
