# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Brussels sprouts transform into something genuinely craveable, not just virtuous side-dish eating.
  • The glaze is balanced enough that it feels special but simple enough to throw together on a weeknight.
  • It works for dinner guests and picky eaters alike—something about that honey-mustard combo wins people over.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the pan or stir them constantly—Brussels sprouts need direct contact with the hot surface to actually caramelize, not steam in each other's company.
  • The glaze will thicken and concentrate in the oven heat, so it should look almost thin when you first toss it, and it'll cling to the sprouts as they roast.
03 -
  • Pat your Brussels sprouts completely dry before tossing with the glaze—any excess moisture will steam them instead of caramelize them.
  • Make the glaze a few hours ahead if you want; it keeps perfectly in a jar and actually deepens in flavor as it sits.
