Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I never thought my kids would like brussels sprouts. Never.
I'm not even quite sure why I decided to give it a try, but I did.
Boy, was I surprised that the kids actually LOVED this recipe!

Not only do they taste delicious, but the health benefits of brussels sprouts are amazing! From fighting cancer to lowering cholesterol, this is a great addition to our diet.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

20 Brussels sprouts
1 Tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Balsalmic vinegar
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Wash the brussels sprouts and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut each brussels sprout in half and place in a mixing bowl.



Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well.



Transfer to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes. 
Turn the pan midway through cooking time.



Transfer brussels sprouts to a serving platter to cool.
Once cooled, cut off the ends. (I keep the ends on right up until just before serving because it helps keep the leaves together during cooking time.)




Eat 'em up!
