I've been looking for an easy roasted Brussels Sprouts recipe for awhile. More importantly, I wanted to make this dish as healthy as possible. And believe me, it is possible to make it unhealthy. If you want to get the most vitamins out of those sprouts, it's important not to overcook and/or overload them with heavy toppings.
Brussels sprouts are one of those vegetables that have quite strong taste. If you've never tried them before, you might have a mixed feeling whether you like them or not. It actually took me some time to fall in love with Brussel sprouts and start making them on a regular basis.
If you follow my Easy Brussels Sprouts Recipe, you'll just like me fall in love with this vegetable and the recipe will become your favorite healthy side dish.
I have to tell you, I had a hard time keeping my hands off the final dish while I was taking photos for this post. Brussels Sprouts came out so yummy. Cooked until just nice and tender and then topped with honey-balsamic vinaigrette, sprinkled with some Feta and pine nuts. Sounds good? It sure tasted good.
My husband is a huge fan of these vegetables too, so whenever my Easy Brussels Sprouts are on the dinner menu, they tend not to stay on the plate too long. Everyone wants to get the biggest bite.
