Roasted Brussel Sprouts

I absolutely HATED Brussel sprouts when I was a kid. They were served at our school cafeteria…slimy…green…mushy…bland. Pretty disgusting. (This is by no means an insult to the fine ladies that fed me at school. Hard working ladies…just poor choice by the school system??)

These are not your lunch lady’s Brussel sprouts, ok? Just trust me.

I think the key is not to overcook them, or they just taste gross. Prepared this way, the roasting sweetens their flavor and they have a little cabbage-y crunch to them. Sometimes, food just needs to be itself. Prepared simply to let their own great flavor come through.

Want to know how I know these are good? My kids eat them and ask for more. Kids. Brussel sprouts. Yes, this makes you feel like a super mom!

So set aside all of your Brussel hate and preconceptions and wipe that lunchroom memory out.

Awwww…how cute! They look like baby cabbages, and IMHO they are photogenic.

How to make Roasted Brussel Sprouts:

1. Wash the sprouts and dry completely.
2. Cut each Brussel sprout in half.
3. In a bowl, toss with olive oil, lemon juice, and seasonings.
4. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
5. Flip the sprouts and roast for another 10 minutes.
6. Enjoy!

Half the Brussel sprouts, toss in a bowl with olive oil, lemon juice and seasoning. Too easy, right?
