... brussels sprouts. Who knew?
I tried to give this veggie a try last year {despite its bad reputation} and after careful consideration decided that they just weren't my thing. After eyeing a few recipes with brussels sprouts in them recently, I decided they deserved another shot - and whatdyaknow, they're pretty good! I roasted a bunch last evening with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic, and while they were originally meant to be dipped into a cheesy fondue pot, I wound up eating almost the entire bowl cheese free.
Now, I realize that the majority of these recipes contain either bacon or cheese, but don't shoot the messenger, apparently brussels sprouts taste best alongside these tasty ingredients... that pizza is on my "must make in the immediately future" list.
But let me remind you, I feel in love with them simply roasted sans cheese and bacon :) So friends, are brussels sprouts your friend or foe? Are you willing to give them a try?
I love them. I want to get a mandoline so I can shred those bad boys.
ReplyDeleteI think I may have to give them another try after looking at all of these pics
ReplyDeletenom, nom. I love roasted brussel sprouts. Um, the pesto pasta looks amazing, do you have the recipe?
ReplyDeleteI was on that band wagon, til last year - pan roasted with butter and sauted onions. SO GOOD! I love them on a fork with some mashed potatoes, they taste so good!
ReplyDeleteI love brussels sprouts but am always looking for new ways to make them besides roasting them, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love them! We just had them roasted last night--delish! I want that pizza oh yum yum!
ReplyDeleteLove love love brussels sprouts! Add a bit of honey and red pepper flakes next time you roast them for a sweet and spicy version, so good!
ReplyDeleteI like my brussel sprouts. I have baby ones that I keep meaning to fix up, but I've been having a lazy cook time (in between rapid fire episodes of bake all the things).
