Not your Mama's Brussel Sprouts

I've had this love/hate relationship with brussel sprouts. If they're done well, they're excellent. But if not, then blech! And despite the fact I've eaten brussels a billion times in my life, this is the first time I've ever attempted to cook them. And I gotta tell ya - I might be tossing that whole "hate" thing right out of the equation.

Brussels

I took a note from my Roasted Cauliflower recipe, and threw in some garlic cloves with these. Once again, feel free to substitute any seasoning or fresh herbs you have around the house.

1 1/2 lbs brussel sprouts
6-8 cloves garlic
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
additional kosher salt to taste

Trim the ends from the brussels and peel off any yellow or old leaves. Toss in a baking dish with garlic, oil, and spices. Place into a 400 degree oven, and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring often. Once brussels are nicely roasted, remove from the oven and serve!

  1. And can I mention how much I love brussel sprouts? Even the frozen ones in nuclear butter sauce, or plainly boiled, or the next day- cold, with salt? I think I'll soon add "roasted" to the list.

    ooh...learned something the hard way. even if you love brussel sprouts, BURNT brussel sprouts are downright nasty. Almost the devil's spawn. I knew I should have listened to you and stirred them frequently. :)
