Growing up I was not a fan of vegetables. If I did have them, it was broccoli. As I got older, studied abroad and lived with other people, I was introduced to new food and at the age of 23, I tried Brussels sprouts for the first time. I always heard they smelled bad but at a company dinner, they were ordered for the table and I tried one of these “baby lettuce heads” and was surprisingly impressed. Since then, I’ve never tried to make them at home, but over the holidays, I grabbed a few and started experimenting in the kitchen. I’ve had a few rounds of trying new recipes, but I think I have found a combination that works for me. Check it out below.

What You’ll Need

• Brussels sprouts, rinsed
• Garlic powder
• Garlic salt
• Pepper
• Chicago steak seasoning
• Olive oil

What To Do

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Chop off the knobby ends of each sprout.

• Cut each sprout in half the long way.
• For smaller bites, cut each half in half again.

• Season with garlic powder, garlic salt, steak seasoning and pepper. Feel free to add anything else you might like.
• Toss in a light amount of olive oil.
• Roast for about 15 minutes before flipping, then roast for an additional 10 minutes or until crispy.

Do you like Brussels sprouts? How do you make them? I’d love to know!

Until next time…
