Author Notes
Isn’t it funny that as children we all hated brussels sprouts? I also hated spinach and cauliflower, both of which have become favorites in my adult life. But there was just something about brussels sprouts that made kids scream. And now, I could eat them everyday. Seriously.
This recipe for Roasted Brussels Sprouts is so easy (like two steps easy)! Once you know how easy it is to roast any veggie and how delicious and sweet they taste, you will crave them like I do. All roasting takes is a little olive oil, some salt and pepper and veggies. Major yum.
