I am always looking for something quick and easy to make, especially on evenings when I am short on time.

This recipe satisfied my requirements and ended up to be a tasty, delicious side that I will absolutely make again.

The browning method of this recipe is what makes it so special. The brussels sprouts were caramelized to a deep, perfect brown that kept them crispy throughout the entire cooking process. They stayed firm and intact during  the braising.

The braising was simple and took very little time. The addition of the honey mustard sauce gave it a sweet and tangy flavor that was delicious. This recipe is perfect for company or any weeknight dinner. It is a “must-try”. 

Make this recipe for dinner tonight! It is courtesy of Cooking Light and serves 4 people who will have a new way of enjoying brussels sprouts!
