Celebrate National Nutrition Month® by savoring the flavor of eating right with these Roasted Maple-Mustard Glazed Brussels Sprouts.
As you may be aware of, March is National Nutrition Month®, a nutrition education and information campaign created annually by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. March is especially busy for Registered Dietitians, as we are spreading focus and attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.
This year’s theme is to “Savor the Flavor of Eating Right” and what I take away from this year’s theme is to show others that you can eat healthy and it tastes amazing! As a culinary-focused Registered Dietitian, my passion is to educate about nutrition through food.
Okay, I get it.. there are some foods that you just don’t like, but Brussels sprouts have such a stigma and too many people turn up their noses to the thought of Brussels sprouts. Honestly, it’s probably because many have not experienced tasting them in a flavorful way. Move over bland boring steamed Brussels sprouts, enter delicious and more enjoyable Roasted Maple-Mustard Glazed Brussels Sprouts.
I hope to encourage others to get creative in the kitchen and savor the flavor! If you don’t love a food one way, try it another way. Experiment with various cooking techniques, flavors, seasonings, etc.

I’m always looking for new ways to prep my Brussels sprouts. My go-to recipe is miso glazed, but I’m dying to try this one- they look so flavorful!
