Honey Mustard Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts seem to be a bit like pineapple on pizza, with hardly any middle ground between love and hate. Attempts to sway people to team pineapple may be futile, but I hope to sway a few people on the fence about the sprout with these honey mustard pan roasted brussels sprouts.

You’ll only need three ingredients, and you even get to use frozen brussels sprouts. You won’t find many easier methods to cook next level veggies than you’ll see below.

And in case honey mustard isn’t your thing, I’ve included nearly ten more ideas for seasoning brussels sprouts. We’re talking ’bout pepper bacon, cranberry walnut, and sticky sweet sprouts.

How to Go from Frozen to Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts

These honey mustard brussels sprouts are super easy to make. You’ll only need three ingredients:

  • 12-ounce bag of frozen brussels sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 2 tablespoons of whole grain mustard (dijon mustard works as well)

That’s it. To get started, simply microwave the brussels sprouts according to the packaging (about 5-6 minutes).

Once the brussels sprouts have cooked, drain any excess liquid from the bag and transfer the sprouts to a cutting board. Slice them in half, being careful to not burn yourself.

Heat a large skillet over high heat with nonstick cooking spray. It’s important you let your pan get completely hot first. A great way to test this is to flick a little water from your fingertips into the pan. If the pan sizzles, it’s good to go.

Add the brussels sprouts to the hot pan. Do your best to place most of the sprouts cut side down in the pan. You can see in the image below that I did not follow my own advice.

Leave the brussels sprouts untouched for 2-3 minutes before flipping and cooking another 2-3 minutes untouched.

While the sprouts are in the pan, mix the honey and mustard in a small bowl. After the sprouts have been in the pan for 4-6 minutes, reduce the heat to low, add the honey mustard, and stir well until the honey mustard is fully incorporated.

What Other Flavors Go Well with Brussels Sprouts?

So, I figured I could give you a few ideas for seasoning brussels sprouts in case you wanted to go a different direction with yours.

Don't like the bitterness of brussel sprouts? Don't worry, you won't even know these are brussel sprouts when they're done! I use sugar free syrup in lieu of honey to save the carbs and dijon mustard- literally taste like candy when they're done. I have served them to dinner guests and they rave over them and can't believe they're so simple.

I love this recipe !! I have made several times it is so easy and tastes delicious. Brussel sprouts are my favorite, I’ve done a lot of times in the air fryer as well but I love the honey flavor to these. Awesome recipe and would highly recommend to others !

Another great brussel sprout recipe! The only thing I did differently was not adding the liquids to the hot pan but instead adding the hot sprouts to the mixing bowl that had the liquids and then giving them a toss . The first time I made the recipe and added the liquids to the pan the honey got hard and stuck to the pan really badly. I'm no chef lol.
