Cranberry Balsamic Brussel Sprouts

Ingredients

• 24 oz bag brussel sprouts (1/2 recipe if you are using a small bag……we just like leftovers)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons good balsamic (I used raspberry)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• dried cranberries (just a few for sprinkling)
• slivered almonds or chopped walnuts (about 1 teaspoon per serving)
• blue cheese (about 1 tablespoon per serving)

Directions

Cut brussel sprouts in half and cut off ends. Mix sauce together well and toss about 1/2 of the sauce with brussel sprouts. Put brussel sprouts (covered in sauce) on a baking sheet and bake covered at 350 for 10 minutes. Uncover and cook another 10 minutes. Toss with remaining sauce and sprinkle with blue cheese and a few dried cranberries and almonds to serve. I don’t use all of the sauce, so just add to taste. Salt and pepper to taste as well.
