Brussels Sprouts are a tough sell to kids. Ask any parent. There is something about them that turn people off in droves even if they've never had them. We are working on changing that perception in our house. I personally am not a fan of the steaming method so I went searching for a better way to get my family to eat them. Roasting is the key. It's quick, easy and tastes awesome!
You will need:
1-1 1/2 pound of Brussels Sprouts
2 tbsp of olive oil
salt and pepper
1 tbsp butter or margarine (optional)
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
First give your sprouts a good rinse.
Next trim off the very bottom and remove any yellow or browning leaves.
Like so.
Add your olive oil (I usually eyeball it)
Season to taste.
Spread them on a cookie sheet. I put down foil to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Toss them on the middle rack of the oven and roast them for 30-40 minutes. Check them every 10 minutes or so and give the pan a shake to allow them to brown evenly.
They should have a nice brown/dark brown to the outer leaf. After roasting, you can toss them with a little butter/margarine if you'd like, either way they will taste awesome!
