Diane

To me, the changes people make to the recipe is the best part. Thank you for sharing.

Used cubed sweet potatoes (on hand), more mustard (mix of Dijon and grainy), and less honey (our preference). Yes, yes, I know, "you didn't make this", but honestly, we really enjoyed it. Super easy, great balance of flavors, and a big sheet of heavy duty foil meant almost no clean up.

Oh my gosh. Husband is not a fan of sausages (i know!) or mustard but loves brussels sprouts...yet i forged ahead. this was his response: i think this is one of the best things you’ve ever made. Mic drop.

Sarah

This was bloody lovely! I added 6oz of broxolli slaw mix with carrot and red cabbage (I would totally use the full 12oz bag next time) and I used chicken sausage from Costco that are whole30 compliant (I know honey isn't but it's all part of free food choices) I let them cook a little longer so the slaw got charred and sticky and the Brussels were lovely and dark. I'll be making this again for sure. Quick easy and delicious.

DJ

Made it with Beyond Meat brats cut into coins. The whole thing was delicious and cooked though evenly.

Matt

Sheet pans are fine, I have five or so, but they aren't the greatest invention since the wheel, as the enthusiasm for them seems to suggest.Cooking most, or all, of a meal in one pan makes sense for numerous reasons, but for this recipe, as well as so many others, a heavy bottomed pan is better, and most sheet pans aren't that sturdy.A skillet would work well. A heavy bottomed large skillet -14" is a great size, and is more versatile than a sheet pan.

Made as written. It was delicious. Next time, I will definitely track down bratwurst (used sweet Italian sausage) use a lot more mustard (probably a combination of Dijon and grainy mustard) and double the vegetables. My 3 comments are: potatoes definitely benefitted from being cut smaller to be a little smaller than the Brussels sprouts as they take longer to cook; wouldn’t use mustard seeds again as they didn’t soften up in the 15 min. cooking; cooking time was more like 35 even with convection

Linda

Butternut squash works well with this.

Eli

This was really good but I made some tweaks. Instead of whole links, I cut the sausage into coins. I went a little crazy with the sauce and made a lot of it and added some lemon juice. So spicy, sweet, and hearty!

Gabriel

Made this for supper tonight. Nice and quick. If you use baby red potatoes, I'd cut them into quarters instead of halves unless you like your potatoes quite firm. I made an extra half serving of the honey mustard for dunking and it was a choice I do not regret.

L Clifton

Reduced the oil by about half but it came out fine. Made it twice, once with precooked chicken-maple sausage, once with raw mild Italian chicken sausage. Put the precooked sausage in after the 1st 15 minutes, cooked whole recipe 10 more minutes, turned off oven and rested pan in oven for about 5 minutes while guests gathered at the table--this version turned out delicious and we didn't miss the extra oil.

Claire

Has anyone tried this with a vegetarian sausage such as Beyond Meat?

patty

Delicious and easy. I added a chopped red onion and chopped granny smith apples instead of the honey.

Momo

Fantastic result, but would double the honey mustard next time. Used walnuts which added a bit of crunch, nice addition. Next time I’ll deglaze the sheet pan, and use the sweet and savory bits as extra sauce. Delicious!

Jody

Delicious! Followed the double the mustard for tossing and made extra for dipping. Only future modification would be to put Brussels in after the initial 10 minutes so they stay firm and only cook for 10 minutes.

zach

Parmesan, parsley

edsop

This is delicious. It is a simple way to kick up a simple dish several notches. I can’t wait to try different variations!

mcfuller

Amazing ratio of flavor (lots) to time spent (very little, used pre-trimmed sprouts). A huge win!

Patty’s Place

Delicious use chopped up cabbage instead of brussel sprouts ! Easy weeknight meal 😊

bzimmerman

I made this because of the ratings and comments, though I was skeptical. And wrong. Really good. Used fresh sweet Italians and doubled the sauce (but not the honey). Also put the sheet pan it the oven while pre-heating to give the veggies a running start. Yum!

Kathleen

I add more honey than the recipe calls for - it carmalizes and is delish!

Lorraine

This is good, I’ll say a 3.5 for me and a 5.0 for my husband. If I make it again, I would increase the proportion of Brussels sprouts to double the amount of potatoes. I would also increase volume of dressing by 50%. Finally, I didn’t have mustard seeds on hand, so used grainy Dijon. I also didn’t add nuts, and I think both mustard seed and nuts would be nice additions. My husband wouldn’t be bothered by those changes, and it would be an improvement for me.

EE

This was so tasty and so easy and so fast. Next time will use smaller more even-sized potatoes for more efficient cooking and to stay within 30-min cook time. A side of sauerkraut was nice with it.

lucy

Would this be good with kielbasa?

Sean

Pretty pretty pretty good. I actually added some apple wedges to the second roast, after the drizzle. Roast sausage & apples are a perfect complement, and they went great with the sprouts. Next time I'll probably halve or coin the sausages though, they didn't quite get cooked through & charred enough this way which was surprising.

xtraspice

Delicious and so easy. Mustard sauce makes it.

sarah

could use onions

Laura

Fab. Did 2x the brussels and omitted the potatoes. Used sweet Italian pork sausages and whatever mustards I had left in my fridge (some Dijon and some stone ground). Timed it for 12 min, then toss and flip, then 10 min. The Brussels were pretty soft at that point and the sausage was definitely fully cooked, so I think it could have handled 10 10 mins.

Joshua

Delicious. Used what I had on hand: smaller frozen Brussel sprouts and tiny mixed potatoes. (I dropped the little sprouts into boiling water for three minutes to make sure they weren't frozen.) And like a lot of other made extra honey mustard for dipping. Definitely making again.

Sheet-Pan Sausages and Brussels Sprouts With Honey Mustard Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Why do you soak brussel sprouts before cooking? ›

The soak time tenderizes the sprouts so the middles are softer. Don't worry, they won't be soggy! I would never do that to you. If, like me, you don't mind some chew to your sprouts, you don't need to soak the Brussels sprouts prior to cooking.

How do you roast brussel sprouts without getting soggy? ›

The other secret to ridiculously crispy Brussels sprouts is tossing them in plenty of oil. We like to use olive oil, but plain vegetable oil is great too. If the sprouts are well-coated, they'll caramelize and char instead of simply softening in the oven.

Do you cut the ends off of Brussels sprouts before you cook them? ›

No matter how you're going to cook your Brussels sprouts, you'll want to trim them first. At the base of each sprout is the spot where it was originally connected to the plant. Unless you've just cut the sprouts off the stalk yourself, this area will have become dry and browned during storage.

Should I blanch brussel sprouts before pan frying? ›

It's not always necessary but we think it works here to create a soft middle and crisp exterior in the pan. When you boil them, the water should be well salted which allows seasons the sprouts from the inside out for best flavour all the way through.

Why won't my Brussels sprouts get crispy? ›

Roast the Brussels Sprouts at high heat

If you don't hear them crisping up in the oven, add a little more oil and roast them for a few more minutes until your desire crispiness is achieved!

What happens if you don't wash brussel sprouts? ›

It's important to wash Brussels sprouts before you eat them to get rid of dirt, bugs, pesticide residue, and bacteria. Luckily, it's easy to wash these delicious vegetables.

Why are my oven roasted brussels sprouts mushy? ›

Moisture is the enemy of crispiness.

There's nothing wrong with soft and chewy Brussels, but if your goal is the type of crispy Brussels that they're serving at your favorite bistro you MUST thoroughly dry the surface of the sprouts before sautéing and/or roasting them. If they are wet they will steam instead of crisp.

Should you roast Brussels sprouts cut side up or down? ›

Roast 'em! Our two rules: place and space! Place them cut side down to create that slightly crunchy exterior and soft interior. Space them out evenly so they don't steam–a crowded sheet pan party is not where your brussels want to be.

Is it better to parboil brussel sprouts before roasting? ›

Unlike other vegetables, Brussels sprouts can be parboiled (even a day ahead) to reduce the roasting time without hurting their texture. That means the sprouts can be popped in the oven while the meat is resting before carving. Of course, if the main course is grilled or pan-cooked, the oven will be free for roasting.

How far in advance can you prep Brussels sprouts? ›

Make ahead: Brussels sprouts can be trimmed and halved up to 3 days in advance. Stop treating the squash like a tuber and start thinking of it like a melon.

Can you overcook brussel sprouts? ›

For best results, cook sprouts until just tender, never mushy. Overcooking produces the offensive odor associated with Brussels sprouts. It's caused by the release of sulfur-containing compounds. Overcooking also causes them to turn a drab olive green.

Why put crosses on Brussels sprouts? ›

In Medieval times, it was believed that evil spirits and demons lived between the leaves of the vegetable, and they would enter anyone who ate them, making them ill. A cross cut into the base of the sprouts was thought to drive the evil spirits away.

Should you boil Brussels sprouts first? ›

The trick is to simply know how to cook them properly and what flavors work with them. Your first step should always be to blanch the brussels sprouts. This is basically when they get submerged in boiling water just for a few minutes, not until they're fully cooked, but just enough to take away some of the bitterness.

How many minutes do you blanch Brussels sprouts? ›

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water. Blanch small Brussels sprouts for 3 minutes, medium for 4 minutes, and large for 5 minutes. Plunge the blanched sprouts in the ice water to stop the cooking process then move them to a clean towel and pat dry.

Should you rinse brussel sprouts before roasting? ›

To prepare brussel sprouts, you should rinse them well or even soak them if you have enough time. Trim the bottoms and outer leaves off, then cut them in half to prep them for roasting.

How long to soak Brussels sprouts in water? ›

To prepare, soak Brussels sprouts in a bowl of cold, salted water for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F. Drain and trim the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts, pulling off any yellow outer leaves. Cut each sprout into thirds from stem to top.

What do you soak brussel sprouts in to clean them? ›

Thoroughly wash them (we recommend allowing them to soak in a bowl filled with cold water for a few minutes). With your hands, work the Brussels sprouts around the bowl to dislodge any sediment and dirt that may be stuck in and on the leaves. Use your hands to rub off any particularly stubborn dirt.

Should sprouts be soaked? ›

However, the natural agents that protect them from early germination can wreak havoc in our digestive system. Soaking and sprouting replicates germination, which activates and multiplies nutrients (particularly Vitamins A, B, and C), neutralizes enzyme inhibitors, and promotes the growth of vital digestive enzymes.
