Brussel sprouts are one of my favorite foods. I love using these vegetables everywhere I can. They are great as sides for your holiday meals. But don't just take my word for it. Try them out.
Brussels sprouts have been gaining popularity and they’re popping up on menus in restaurants all around the country. There are so many ways to prepare them. If you haven’t tried them in awhile and all you remember are those colorless, mushy, boiled or steamed Brussels sprouts let me reintroduce you to Brussels sprouts. Try them roasted.
There are lots of different ways to prepare your Brussel sprouts. This is a simple roasted recipe that you can use as a gateway back into Brussel sprouts. It's sweet and tangy and delicious.
Trim the outer leaves on your sprouts and cut them in half through the stem for even cooking and to make them golden brown.
This recipe is quick for weeknights and meal prep. It gives a lot of flavor so I will be making this again and again.
