Sometimes we have a little fun in our family when it comes to food. I have 1 great eater, 1 ok eater, and 1 eater that I wish did better. I like introducing new foods, especially healthy ones! The hard part is getting them to take that first bite.
I have to admit that I’ve never been a huge brussels sprouts fan. My mom would make them and I’d turn my nose up. I decided to give them a shot one night and googled some ideas on how to prepare them. I found a recipe that I liked and tweeked it a bit and voila! It is GOOD!
I wanted the kids to try them out so I made a joke that I was going to fix something Ugly for dinner. They were eagerly anticipating what I was going to make…
Ugly Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe That Your Kids WILL Eat! I hope!
- 1 lb brussels sprouts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp minced garlic or to your liking
- 1 tsp sea salt
- pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Trim ends of brussels sprouts and cut in half if needed
- Mix all ingredients in bowl together until brussels sprouts are coated
- Place on baking sheet to cook.
- Put timer on for 35 minutes, but every 7 minutes or so go and move them around so they get roasted all over.
- They are done when very browned. I like them when I can see them starting to blacken. The crisper the better!
ALL my boys ate them and LIKED them! We’ve had them a couple of times now. They have great flavor and are crispy!
You need to try them with your kids and let me know what they think!
You can also add coarsely chopped red onion, and/or 2-3 bacon rashers. I bake this dish in an uncovered casserole. Yumm.
Oh man! This is my favorite sprout cooking way – I have been on a brussel sprout kick for a few weeks now and cannot get enough
I agree – this way of cooking them makes them look ugly, but sooooo good
Sounds tasty!
