Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Wow! I didn’t think I liked Brussels Sprouts until I ate these.

I had always had the frozen variety with a little butter. Not good…Not bad.

Big thanks to my man, Steve, for this one.  He roasted brussels sprouts and they were FABULOUS! 

I quickly shared the love and made them for my friend Carrie.  Here they are…

Ingredients

4 or 5 cups of Brussels sprouts

1/2 c. olive oil

5 cloves garlic, pressed

sea salt and white pepper to taste

Clean, trim and half the brussels sprouts and place in a large bowl.

Heat the olive oil, garlic, sea salt and pepper in a small saucepan.

Once the garlic is sizzling, drizzle the oil over the brussel sprouts.

Toss and spread cut side down on a large baking stone or cookie sheet.

Bake at 400 degrees fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes.

I left the outer leaves on and they fell off during roasting and turned into a wonderfully crisp little chip.  The garlic bits were crunchy too!  Molto buono!

Serve immediately.

Recognize that bread?  I served these next to turkey and swiss spent grain bread grilled sandwiches.  That bread grilled up perfectly!
