Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I want my children to have a love affair with vegetables and fruit. So when they like a veggie dish, my heart beats with joy! Roasted Brussels Sprouts are a hit in our home and even a favorite at extended family dinners too.

These are best served right out of the oven, so plan your meal accordingly.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lb Brussels sprouts, cut into thirds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Optional: 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper if you want a little heat

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper
  3. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels Sprouts with olive oil until coated.
  4. Spread the Brussels sprouts on the parchment paper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. If you want to add some serious heat, add the cayenne pepper (or for the real-heat-crazies add a teeny-tiny sprinkle of Ghost Pepper Salt).
  6. Bake for 30 minutes. Check for crispiness and then bake for 10 more minutes.

Serve immediately. Enjoy!

I’ll see you at the table!
