Brussel sprouts have never tasted so good. My Mom used to fix Brussel sprouts for me when I was small and I have fond memories of these small cabbage looking cruciferous vegetables. I have modified the recipe by roasting them which provides a remarkable crunchy outer texture and delicious soft center. The key benefits of brussel sprouts include anti-cancer properties due to their high phytochemical content. They are also high in fiber, are a good source of folate, vitamin C, and iron. Let’s get to the kitchen and cook up this power packed side of sprouts tonight!
Stay Healthy Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussel Sprouts
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Johnnys Garlic Spread & Seasoning (or spices that you like...pepper, oregano, thyme, basil..just to name a few)
Preparation
- Heat oven to 375 degrees
- Prepare a cookie sheet by covering with aluminum foil (easy clean up)
- Wash, drain and cut the stem ends off all the Brussel Sprouts
- Place olive oil in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 tbsp seasoning (or spice of your liking), mix together like a salad dressing
- Toss the sprouts until well coated. Place on the cookie sheet
- Do not waste the sprout leaves that have separated, coat those and place on the sheet for a crunchy treat but they will be ready before the whole sprout
- Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until the outer shell is nicely browned
