Brussel sprouts. Some people love them. Some people, not so much. I loved brussel spouts as a kid. My Mom would make them for us, and I always thought I was getting baby cabbages. She let me think that because she was happy that at least I was eating my vegetables. Although brussel sprouts are related to cabbage, they do not grow up to become cabbage.
These roasted brussel sprouts are an easy vegetable dish to put together. Some people may not like brussel sprouts because they may have had them steamed or boiled, but trying roasting them and give them another chance.
I enjoy making these roasted brussel sprouts year round, but these are also an easy and delicious side dish for for the winter holidays.
