I know a lot of people will see Brussels sprouts and run the other way, even my brother-in-law calls then LGBD"s (Little green balls of death!)....yes they have a strong flavor and no one likes them, but I do! Here is a site to read about the history and nutritional value of brussels sprouts.
http://www.brussels-sprouts.com/BSINFO.htm I really think you like them but don't know it yet!
You can steam them, boil them or roast them. Today I want them to look and taste rich and full of flavor so I'm going to roast them......roasting is so easy and takes only a few minutes longer as cooking them any other way.
1 lb. Brussels
1 red onion, sliced thin
3 T. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
Clean Brussels sprouts by cutting off the stem end. Some of the leaves will naturally fall off...that's OK. You will want to pull others off if they are not looking good or cut little spot off.
Gently toss first five ingredients together.
Place on a baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes or until browned and roasted, stirring 1 or 2 times during cooking time.
When done, remove from oven and place in a serving bowl. I like to pour balsamic vinegar over mine or a little butter with a touch of nutmeg!
