Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I was never a fan of brussels sprouts because I did not know how to cook them properly and make them taste good. This all changed when my son from Calgary made these roasted brussels sprouts when he came and stayed with us. The sprouts were simply tossed in oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika and flour, and then baked for 25 minutes. The sprouts came out charred, crispy and flavorful. My husband and I can’t get enough of them.  So now, every time I see brussels sprouts at the grocery store, I always buy them. It is now a staple at our house. This simple roasted brussels sprouts recipe is the perfect side dish to accompany any meat dish. It is also great on a salad or as part of a vegetable bowl. 

INGREDIENTS:

• Brussels sprouts – the main ingredient in this recipe
• Olive oil – help binds the spices and sprouts together
• Seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika – collectively makes the sprouts taste better
• All-purpose flour – makes the sprouts crispy

HOW TO MAKE ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS:

To make these roasted brussels sprouts, first clean and cut the Brussels sprouts in halves lengthwise.  Next, toss them in oil and then in salt, pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Finally, toss the sprouts in flour until they are evenly coated. Place cut side down on a greased foil set on a baking pan. Bake the sprouts for 15 minutes. Then, flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes.

TIPS:

• If possible, buy brussels sprouts of the same size. This will make sure the sprouts are baked at the same time.
• Baking time may vary depending on the oven and size of the brussels sprouts. To avoid burned sprouts, keep an eye on the sprouts in the last 5 minutes of baking. Adjust baking time, if necessary.
