i've never really had a problem with brussel sprouts, probably because mom always just boiled them a bit then we ate them with butter.
many people do not like them, however. jon included.
but he tried them last night, and yum was the verdict.
Recipe called for sprouts, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper
Brussel Sprouts-- cleaned, ends cut off and any yellow leaves removed
Butter-- we didn't have any olive oil so we went butter, just enough to coat the sprouts
Salt-- we went garlic salt up in this kitchen, cause i loves me some garlic too
Pepper-- fresh cracked black pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss sprouts in melted butter, salt and pepper. Spread evenly on baking sheet. Bake 30-40 minutes. Shake the baking sheet a few times for even cooking.
They come out sweet, tender, and a little crispy on the outside. Think we may have over buttered this time, i tend to be heavy handed (not sure why, but i worry about under buttering, like that's not easy to fix), but now we know. They were still really great, just not very crispy.
Once they were done, I sprinkled a bit of fresh parmesan on top. It melted a bit and was wonderful.
Could have eaten the sprouts solo. ALL OF THEM.
Had some sweet corn, so roasted that at the same time. And mom cooked up some italian sausage. All in all, delish.
Highly recommended!
