Recently I picked up some fresh brussels sprouts at the store because my husband really likes them. I don't cook them very often, so I looked on the internet for an easy recipe.
The first one that I found was for roasted brussels sprouts on allrecipes.com. I had all the ingredients so I gave it a try.
Start with fresh brussels sprouts. Wash them.
Trim the ends off .
Add olive oil, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Combine all ingredients in a large plastic bag and shake.
Spread onto baking sheet.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes. Stir every 5-7 minutes.
They are best when they are brownish/black. The loose leaves are the best! They taste like slightly burnt homemade potato chips. Hannah & I just stood there and ate all the loose ones! They are nice and crunchy.The day after I made these, I went back to the store to buy some more. They are that good!
Here is a picture of a brussels sprouts plant. I had no idea that's what they looked like. Maybe you grew up on a brussels sprouts farm, but this is new to me. I have never seen a plant like this before. I wonder if they are easy to grow in the backyard??? Though it looks like one plant will only give you enough sprouts for one or two meals.
Warwick says, "you never liked Brussels sprouts because your mommy murdered them!" I like them now that they are not overcooked. ;) I also recently tried a raw Brussels sprout recipe where you make slaw out of them. They are AMAZING that way with a little lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, dried cranberries, and cheese!
