Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Roasted Brussels sprouts

It’s winter vegetable season again and Oven Roadted Brussels sprouts are one of my favorites! There are many wonderful ways to prepare them but they all stem around some variety of roasting which gives them their nutty, delicious flavor. Boiling and steaming are a no-no as this brings out a metallic, unpleasant flavor. Stick with some version of roasting, grilling, or sautéing.

I love Brussels sprouts on their own, but you can also try wrapping them in bacon or topping with toasted pine nuts or walnuts.

Here’s a recipe that’s high on nutrition and flavor but low on calories.

Clean the sprouts by trimming the stems and removing outer leaves, and then halving. Toss in a roasting pan with a tablespoon of extravirgin olive oil and a generous sprinkling of salt: that’s it! Roast 20 minutes to a half hour at 375°F until golden and tender and serve.

Here’s what Brussels sprouts look like on the plant. Although they’re tiny it takes them four months to come to maturity: roughly double the growing time of a big cabbage!
