Roasted Brussels Sprouts

What is your most hated vegetable? Growing up, we never ate Brussels sprouts because both my parents said they hated them as kids. Doesn't everyone have that vegetable that gives them vivid, negative childhood memories? For me, it's peas. Just not a pea fan.

Sick.

But recently I feel like Brussels sprouts have seen a real resurgence. The icky boiled Brussels sprouts from childhood are long gone!

If you haven't been roasting Brussels...where have you been?! They are so good that I literally eat them out of the boil with my fingers. A fork just takes too much time.

The recipe is pretty simple. It's one of those that, once you understand the necessary components, you can tweak it lots of different ways.

You basically need oil, some sort of acid, seasoning, and an oven set to 425. Mix it all up and roast 'em for 20-25 minutes! And then try to act like a human and eat them with a fork, but I won't judge if these Brussels become finger food.

Here are some recipes to get you started: 

Roasted Balsamic Brussels

Honey Roasted Brussels

Spicy Roasted Brussels with Blue Cheese

Have you gotten on the Brussels train?
