Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Dijon Vinaigrette

Roasting is hands down my favorite way to prepare vegetables. I usually head straight for the asparagus. It's like my safety net, I always nail it. But I'm on a mission to branch out and try new things lately, so that's how brussels sprouts found their way into my oven!

 

Roasted brussels on their own are flavorful in a mellow, creamy kind of way, but this recipe is special because they're dressed in a tangy dijon mustard vinaigrette after they're roasted.  I served these sprouts with quiche but they'd make a perfect pair with pretty much anything, or even on their own as a snack or light lunch.
