Hello from TINA KASHIAN! My two daughters like Brussels sprouts and sometimes they even ask for this vegetable. I know this is unusual. They did not always enjoy them. When my oldest was little she used to call them “fart bombs.” Kids are funny and use bodily functions to voice a lot of thoughts. But they do like this vegetable now. I’ve also noticed restaurants are serving Brussels sprouts more often. They can be an appetizer or a side dish to a good steak or chicken dish. I found this recipe on Pinterest and it’s easy to prepare and tasty.
Ingredients:
6 cups Brussels sprouts (cut in half lengthwise)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with ¼ cup olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on 13x9-inch baking dish.
Roast the Brussels sprouts for 25-35 minutes. Turn them halfway through until they are browned.
Enjoy!

Never been a fan of brussel sprouts. If I had to pick one vegetable, it would have to be the potato just because it's so versatile. I do love cauliflower too.

I like cauliflower too. I just tried a roasted cauliflower recipe which I enjoyed.
DeleteNot a fan of brussel sprouts. I do love tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. aprilbluetx at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteI love tomatoes. I have one daughter who will eat them. My husband, John, and my oldest daughter won't touch them. So sad!
DeleteMight be easier to say, I am not a huge eggplant or okra fan, otherwise I love vegetables. Roasted cauliflower and carrots are particular favorites right now. I do find that brussels sprouts have a rather negative impact on my digestive system as I age if I eat more than a few. Do love them roasted though!
ReplyDeleteI understand about Brussels sprouts being hard on the stomach. I find roasting them helps. I like eggplant ragout or stew
DeleteI didn't used to like brussel sprouts, but they were usually served cooked to death.
ReplyDeleteNow if they are crunchy roasted, I'm on board.
I use a version of your recipe with the addition sometimes of Parmesan cheese or balsamic vinegar.
You're right about overcooking them. Then they are blah! Roasting them brings out different flavors and textures and is delicious.
DeleteI like Brussels sprouts but I usually shred them and sauté them with bacon
ReplyDeleteI love anything with bacon! This sounds like a good recipe
DeleteI am not a fan at all of brussel sprouts over in Half Moon Bay, Ca on our bus ride to school we smelled these and it was a horrible smell on the way so have not liked them. Not brocolli is on that I can eat also corn is my favorite or artichoke peggy clayton ptclayton2 @aol.com
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon, I was wondering if any of you do author talks for libraries. I work at a small rural library and I am always looking for authors who would be interested in doing a virtual author talk. I am also starting up a mystery cookbook club at our library and would love to have someone talk about their books, their recipes etc. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteNice recipe. Love brussel sprouts. It is one of my favorites along with Broccoli and cauliflower. I am a fan of shrimp scampi I often put a small frozen batch of shrimp scampi on the brussel sprouts mixed in with 4 or 5 other vegetables into an individual serve casserole dish and cook them in the microwave. For the rest of the family I fix something else. I am the only one here who like shrimp and who like brussel sprouts. I will be trying this recipe in the next couple of days. Thank for for a new one.
