BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH APPLE CIDER DRESSING
When I'm thinking about fall, several kinds of produce come to mind -- pumpkins, apples and squash of course, but also Brussels sprouts. Anyone who thinks they don't like Brussels sprouts should give them another chance with this recipe. Apple cider provides a sweet glaze for the sprouts, which adds to the natural sweetness the vegetable develops during roasting. I think this dish is as satisfying as dessert!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl, then drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat evenly. Spread the sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast the sprouts until brown and crispy and tender but not mushy, 25 to 35 minutes, stirring gently about half way through the cooking time.
- While the sprouts roast, make the cider dressing. Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until tender and slightly brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add the cider, vinegar and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes to reduce the liquid and thicken the dressing. Remove from heat, stir in the honey and mustard and let cool slightly.
- When the sprouts are ready, remove from the oven and toss in a large bowl with the cooled dressing.

- Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, deep green sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any sprouts with yellowing or wilted leaves, as these are signs of age and poor quality.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts properly: Cut off the stem end of each sprout and remove any discolored or damaged outer leaves.
- Cook the Brussels sprouts until tender: You can boil, steam, or roast the Brussels sprouts until they are tender but still slightly firm to the bite. Overcooking can make them mushy and bland.
- Use a variety of cooking methods: Try roasting Brussels sprouts with olive oil and herbs for a crispy exterior and tender interior, or sautéing them with bacon and onions for a savory side dish. You can also shred Brussels sprouts and add them to salads or slaws for a crunchy texture and a boost of nutrients.
- Experiment with different flavors: Brussels sprouts pair well with a variety of flavors, so don't be afraid to experiment. Try adding them to stir-fries, pasta dishes, or soups. You can also roast them with fruit, such as apples or pears, for a sweet and savory side dish.
Conclusion:
Brussels sprouts are a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. With their slightly bitter flavor and firm texture, they are a great addition to salads, stir-fries, pasta dishes, and soups. They can also be roasted, steamed, or sautéed as a simple side dish. No matter how you choose to cook them, Brussels sprouts are a healthy and flavorful addition to any meal.
