INGREDIENTS
1 pound fresh brussel sprouts, stem cut off and halved (quartered if large)
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup water
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup raw walnuts, halves or large pieces
juice from half an orange
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Placed halved or quartered Brussels Sprouts in to a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, combine water, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, black pepper and salt. Pour this mixture over Brussels sprouts and stir until well coated.
Place coated Brussels sprouts on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Roast for 15 minutes or until golden brown and mostly tender.
Add walnuts. Return to oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes, watching carefully as the walnuts will burn if you keep them in too long.
