Ingredients
- 1 lb small-medium Brussels sprouts, stems trimmed and other leaves removed
- 1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 ½ tablespoons spicy brown or Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove, grated or finely minced
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

- Brush the glaze onto the skewered sprouts; use a spoon if necessary to slather it on.
- Grill the skewers directly on the grate for 2 minutes until charred. Turn and repeat for a total of 6 minutes.
- Remove from the grill, drizzle with reserved glaze, and serve hot or cold.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
