Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Do you eat brussel sprouts? I used to think they were gross, but that was because I have only tried them steamed before. I roast them drizzled with olive oil, crushed garlic and salt/pepper. 

Just a little note: Serve them right away! Reheated, they just don't taste the same. I

Here is how I make them. I usually pick up brussel sprouts at Trader Joe's, its one of those things that I never put on my list, but if  see them, I get some. 

First thing you need to do is trim them. 

Cut off the bottom and peel off any leaves that fall off:

This is what your brussel sprout should look like after trimming:

I usually cut my brussel sprouts in half:

Then I take a large bag and put them in there.

I add about 1/4 cup of olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed garlic and paprika.

Give everything a good mix:

Place the brussel sprouts onto a baking dish 

Sometime I add nuts. Pine nuts, walnuts... whatever I have in the pantry. 

This time it was walnuts.

Preheat oven to 350 and roast for about 30 minutes, stirring often. 

Serve right away.
