Best Brussel Sprouts Ever!

Best Brussel Sprouts Ever!

If you never like brussel sprouts before you really need to give these a try because they will seriously change the way you think of them! These are roasted in the oven for 25-35 minutes with chopped garlic, olive oil and a sprinkle of salt…that’s it. They are so simple to make and the edges of the brussel sprouts get caramelized along with the garlic pieces. These are delicious served with a sprinkle of Parmesan too after they are roasted.

You may want to try some Crab Cakes, Eggplant Balls or Homemade Gnocchi too! Don’t forget to end your meal with something sweet like Death by Chocolate Meringue Pie or even mouth watering Chocolate Eclairs. Enjoy 🙂

Ingredients – serves 6-8 people:

• 2 lbs. fresh brussel sprouts
• 4 lg garlic cloves coarsely chopped
