Have you ever eaten brussel sprouts? I know right…little green vegetable balls. ? Ha! They are actually quite delicious when roasted. As a child (and like my children) I would have turned my nose up at brussel sprouts, but with age I have become much more refined ? and enjoy a delicious side of simple roasted brussel sprouts. Brussel sprouts are rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. An excellent choice to round out a meal.
This roasted brussel sprouts recipe is delicous to eat alone, drizzled with some basalmic vinegar after removed from the oven or my favorite is to dip them into a homemade Sriracha Aioli (that’s fancy for spicy mayo).
Sriracha Aioli: mix three ingredients below and enjoy
1/2 cup mayo
1 Tbs Sriracha hot sauce
1/2 squeezed lime juice
However you decide to eat them, give these autumn vegetables a try. You’ll enjoy them!

- Place olive oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix. Pour in trimmed brussel sprouts and mix well until evenly coated.
- Pour onto baking sheet and roast in oven for 35 to 40 minutes shaking pan every 5 to 7 minutes for even browning. You want brussel sprouts to be browned and even blackened a little.

This looks delicious! I used to think I didn’t like green beans. Then I watched Rachel Ray on her show mix butter, seasoning, and roasted almonds with cooked green beans and now they’re a favorite of mine! This recipe reminds me of that…when prepared the right way it’s delicious!
