Cooking Notes

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.

Katie

Easy and satisfying weeknight dinner. Added carrots for color. I suggest doubling the honey mustard to coat fully.

michelle

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.

colleen

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

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.

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!

Susan

I just made this. Subbed in broccoli for the brussels sprouts (hate brussels sprouts) and I had the broccoli on hand. Two full stalks, peeled and made coins from the stems, as well as used the florets. Used a very large orange sweet potato for the Yukon golds. I also added spring red onions to the sheet pan. So very good!Rather than mustard seeds, which I didn't have, I added a tablespoon of coarse-ground mustard. I must say, I was pleased.

mary

Delish. Tripled the honey mustard sauce. Almonds were good, but don’t know they added to the taste.

lshobbs57

The Brussels sprouts came out too sweet for me. I like them crispy, almost completely burned, and salty. The potatoes and sausage were fine with the honey mustard.

Christina

Sausages were done way before the potatoes, so I took them out and let the veg finish. Next time I’ll probably just coat everything in the honey mustard before putting it in the oven (instead of halfway through).

Pego

We enjoyed this easy weekday recipe. Notes: The potatoes didn't get roasted in the same time as the other ingredients. I would cut smaller dice next time. I had eight asparagus spears which I cut into 2.5 inch pieces and tossed into the the mix. They were delish. I also placed the honey mustard in the microwave for 20 seconds. It made drizzling much more efficient.

Jenny

I enjoy this recipe but the estimated cook time is terrible. Had to add at least 15 mins.

Melissa

I must have done something wrong. This was ok but nothing special and incredibly sticky, to the point my teeth stuck together at one point. I pushed the veggies around to get the sauce under them, that was a mistake I think. My pan is a sticky, icky mess. Can't wait to clean it :( Some of the Brussels sprouts came apart as I tried to get them off the pan. Each element was tasty but nothing special.

my notes

Made to the recipe except I only had loose bulk sausage, and used a teaspoon of powdered mustard seeds instead, turned out fantastic

Jaylbyrd

So, so dang good. Easy, too! Use fake sausages to minimize your dietary contribution to climate change, and don't skip either the mustard seeds or the almonds!

Barb

I followed the recipe pretty closely, but did double the honey-mustard dressing per previous suggestions. I sliced the brats in fourths. The Brussels cooked faster, but their juices added to the overall flavor. I highly recommend.

Jutta

Delicious - mine cooked fast at 450 on well seasoned sheet pan. Will lower temp by 25 or watch closer next time.

Janet

For once I made a recipe exactly as written, though I did use vegan Whole Foods bratwurst. I only left out the nuts. The cooking times were spot on in my oven. My Dutch husband almost swooned with sausages! potatoes! and even brussels sprouts plus the mustard. We did feel a need to add more Dijon mustard at the table and I think next time I would make the sauce more mustard-y. I was already using Maille Dijon mustard. Perhaps as some people noted, more mustard, less honey in the sauce.

Johnny Pizzaiola

Cooked as per recipe, 100% fabulous!

Mary L

Any good substitutes for mustard? Want to make this but have mustard allergy.

Patricia C

Followed recipe. However did use parchment paper. And doubled the mustard sauce substituting half whole grain mustard for half the dijon. No seeds or nuts needed. perfection. I did read the notes and whole heartedly thank you all.

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.

Should I boil my brussel sprouts before 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.

When not to use brussel sprouts? ›

If any of the leaves have brown spots or are yellowing, it's a sign of early spoilage. If you remove the blemished leaves and the interior looks OK, you can still use the sprout. However, if the interior leaves are also showing blemishes or yellowing, it's best to toss it (or compost it, if you can).

Do you need to blanch brussel sprouts before baking? ›

Like all cabbages, Brussels are unavoidably fibrous and dense. You must overcome this by either cooking them in salty water until fork tender (blanching), or by roasting at a high (over 425F) temperature for upwards of 20 minutes. To guarantee great texture, do both!

Should you cut Brussels sprouts in half before cooking? ›

One of the most common ways to cut a Brussels sprout is in half or quarters. By doing so, you reduce the size of the sprouts, speeding up cooking.

How long should you soak Brussels sprouts in salt water? ›

Contributed by Whole Foods Market, Inc. To prepare, soak Brussels sprouts in a bowl of cold, salted water for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F.

Do I need to wash brussel sprouts before cooking? ›

Rinse under cold running water to remove any dust or dirt. Use a small knife to remove the sprout tip, and then remove any leaves that have bad spots. Raw: Slice thinly and toss with other shredded vegetables like cabbage, carrots, or beets.

Do you wash Brussels sprouts before or after you cut them? ›

To clean them, trim the ends and rinse in a large bowl of cold water. Brussels sprouts aren't an especially dirty vegetable, but any dust or sediment should float to the bottom. Transfer to a colander and pat dry before storing them in a resealable bag.

Why won't my brussel 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 is one major side effect of eating Brussels sprouts? ›

Like other cruciferous veggies, Brussels sprouts have a type of carbohydrate that your body can't easily break down. This can cause you to have belly pain, gas, and either diarrhea or constipation.

What is the black stuff on my brussel sprouts? ›

Fungal and bacterial infections cause black spots on Brussels sprouts. Prevent with spacing, air circulation, and tool sterilization.

Is it okay to eat Brussels sprouts with black spots? ›

If the brown or black spots are light and only on the outer layers, peel off the leaves or slice the stalk with a sharp knife. If it still looks brown or black, then throw the brussel sprout away.

Do you flip Brussels sprouts in the oven? ›

Toss until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated, then spread them out in an even layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper, to taste. Then go around and flip each of the Brussels so that they are cut-side-down.

How many Brussels sprouts per person? ›

Sprouts on the stalk will stay fresher longer than sprouts that have been picked off and sold loose. Plan on about 1/2 pound (8 ounces) of raw brussels sprouts per person.

Why soak Brussels sprouts in salt water? ›

For best results, soak your Brussels sprouts in salt water. Not only does salt act to tenderize the dense sprouts, but it will also help to season them all the way through. It won't take a lot -- just add 1 tablespoon of salt per 1 quart of water and toss in trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts.

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.

How do you get the bitterness out of Brussels sprouts? ›

A splash of lemon juice, or even apple cider vinegar, works wonders on bitter sprouts. Another key ingredient is fat, which helps Brussels sprouts to crisp up. This is why it's so popular to render bacon fat and cook Brussels sprouts in it, then add the bacon bits back in at the end.
