Simple Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Roasting is by far my favorite method of cooking vegetables…especially Brussels sprouts. I think it’s fair to say that I crave them!

I despised Brussels sprouts growing up. Like many kids, I was forced to eat them in the form of over-boiled, mushy, bitter baby cabbages bathing in butter. Yuck! 

I can remember the very first time I tasted a roasted Brussels sprout…I swear I heard harps playing overhead. The crispy texture and almost sweet flavor was a symphony of culinary music to my taste buds. Now I enjoy them once a week using this simple recipe.

I use avocado oil to roast because of its high smoke point. Sea salt and pepper are a must. If you’d like to experiment with different flavor profiles, you can:

• drizzle with balsamic vinegar or hot sauce when hot out of the oven
• top with toasted nuts or seeds
• serve with roasted red pepper hummus
• sprinkle with pomegranate seeds
• mix with minced garlic
• roast with other veggies like sweet potato chunks or chopped onion
