I know that it is weird, but I love a good brussel sprout. I once asked my almost 95 year old grandmother what the secret was to aging so gracefully and she stated brussel sprouts {& exercise}.
For those of you who are intimidated by their bad reputation {the hubby and I discuss this every time we have them, which is at least once a week: why do they have a bad rap?! they are delicious!}:
- Simply wash and cut off about a half of an inch of the bottom off {the tough stem part}.
- Then cut in half. I prefer to “de-leaf” a bit, by pulling some of the outer layers of leaves off.
- Spread the bunch across a cookie sheet and dress with salt and olive oil and place in the oven at 350 until light brown {about 15 minutes} and the de-leafed leaves are crispy.
The new crispies, as they are called in our house, are better than any potato chip you will ever find!
enjoy and extra credit for you! you just had some veggies!

I'm dubious, but will give them another try! I think it's the memories of soggy brussel sprouts with Christmas dinners that puts me off!
Anne says
I think I am the only one who likes them in our house!

Our family loves them roasted like that! Also, Pioneer Woman Cooks has an amazing recipe with a sweet, tangy basalmic vinegar! Yum!
Leslie says
Very tasty when prepared properly and SO healthy! I agree, good idea to remove some of the outer leaves. They are also delicious with brown butter 😉

Sprouts… They were abandoned from our home when I was little (hilarous) and after eating them in a restaurant I discovered I like them, but my boyfriend doesn't so in the end I still don't eat them;)

I have a friend who likes to make brussel sprouts after a night out at the bar. No idea why! Maybe eating veggies balances out all the drinking, hehe

I am so trying this, this week. I never liked brussel sprouts till I cooked them with bacon, but this sounds so good. Going on my shopping list now!
