APRICOT GLAZED ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Easy, Quick, Spicy and Tangy. Just a few ingredients and what a nice unique side dish. I know ... not everyone loves those little cabbages. Personally, I love them. This gives this a little sweet glaze with a bit of a tang, but the process is so easy just roasting them. NO pans to clean up which always scores points with me.

Steps:
- Sprouts -- Heat your oven to 425 and line a baking or cookie sheet with parchment paper. To prepare the sprouts, I peel the first outside layers of leaves off if brown or wilted, then cut in half lengthwise, keeping the stem in tact. This will keep the sprouts from falling apart. You can trim the stem a little if it is brown, but usually buying them today either at markets or in a grocery store they are very well cleaned.
- In a small bowl add the sprout halves, olive oil, dill, salt and pepper and lightly toss. Put on the baking sheet with parchment paper and put in the oven.
- Baking -- Cook 12-15 minutes and then check. At that point, I like to flip them over so they brown equally on both sides and cook another 10 minutes until tender but still have a little bite to them. I don't like them too soft. But please cook them to the texture you like.
- Sauce -- As the sprouts are roasting add all the ingredients for the sauce (jam, vinegar, lemon juice and zest) in a small pot and heat on medium low and let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
- Finish -- After the sprouts are done place in a large serving bowl and drizzle with the apricot glaze.
- Enjoy! This is great served with some roasted chicken or a pork roast, mashed potatoes, etc. It reminds me of Fall food and comforting meals. Growing up Fall and weekend dinners always seem to have braised meats, slow cooked vegetables from our summer garden, and sprouts were always a part of it and always a favorite.

Tips:
- Choose the right Brussels sprouts: Look for small, firm, and tightly packed Brussels sprouts. Avoid any that are yellowed or have brown spots.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts properly: Cut off the stem end of each Brussels sprout and remove any loose outer leaves.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts at a high temperature: This will help them to caramelize and develop a crispy exterior.
- Use a flavorful glaze: The glaze is what will give the Brussels sprouts their delicious flavor. Be sure to use a glaze that you enjoy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the Brussels sprouts, be sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts until they are tender: The Brussels sprouts should be tender when pierced with a fork. If they are not tender, continue to roast them for a few more minutes.
