Lemon Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts

A serious issue is unfolding right before my your eyes. One that involves roasting food.

I. can’t. stop.

Just like when I see fresh fruit and my mind immediately wanders through all the possible desserts I can bake the same thing is happening every time I see a vegetable.

All I want to do is smother it in oil and seasonings and roast it into golden brown submission.

The object of my affections obsession this time around is the humble brussels sprout.

One of the most hated vegetables ever. They showed up on my dinner table a lot when I was growing up and I adamantly refused to eat them.

It’s only been a few years since I allowed one to cross my lips and I think they’re starting to grow on me. I can’t resist when they show up in my market looking all fresh and gorgeous for a mere 99 cents a pound.

I coated the little lettuce heads with the bright flavor of lemon, mustard and parmesan, wonderful complements to their unique flavor. You can toss a clove or two of minced garlic into the mix too.

How long to roast them is a matter of preference. I like mine well done with a little char.

    I still have trouble believing just how much we love brussels sprouts. These look delicious!

  2. I have to admit too, I am not a lover of brussels sprouts. But these look delicious, so I may have to give them a second chance.

    Brussels sprouts are a weird thing. I used to hate them as a kid too and it’s in fact only this year that I started to realize there not as bad as I thought they were. But it certainly took me a long time! This looks pretty good

  4. Roasted brussel sprouts are hands-down one the the BEST ways to eat vegetables!

    Kids are very conservative when it comes to food. I, too, was very hesitant when I was asked to try broccoli, or cawliflower or brussels sprouts, but as I was growing older I started to like them and now I value them a great deal! Your sprouts look absolutely mouthwatering and i would gladly have a bowl or two!
