Simple Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Flavorful Brussels sprouts are roasted to perfection in the oven. And they are EASY to make!

Don’t think you like Brussels sprouts? This recipe will change your mind as you discover how roasting them brings out a complex flavor and subtle crunchiness that will have you addicted. The unfortunate fate of many Brussels sprouts is overcooking, which is why unpleasant childhood memories of a nasty, sulfurous odor coming from the stove has turned many people off. Once you embrace and respect a vegetable that has built-in protection from over cooking ( i.e. the smell), you will add them to your diet!

I think these little nutritional powerhouses should be served up more often then they are. Enjoy!
