For anyone who knows me personally, you know I HATE most vegetables. I am famous for my skills when it comes to picking veggies out of my food. This has been a battle with me since I was very small. I spent many, many nights asleep next to my plate at the dinner table because I refused to eat my veggies!
Over the last few months I have embarked on a journey to discover new ways to fall in love with the dreaded vegetable. I can not take too much credit for this recipe, I found it on Pinterest! But, I have added my spin to it, and seriously...I crave and I mean drool over...drum-roll please...BRUSSEL SPROUTS! I know what you are thinking. Brussel sprouts are like the most hated vegetable of all time. But, with this recipe, you too will come to love...nay CRAVE these yummy little beauties!
This recipe is not super precise. Depending on the size of your sprout, you may need more.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
cut stems off of 6-8 large sprouts
quarter the sprouts lengthwise
toss sprout quarters and leaves that fell off during cutting process on a cookie sheet
spray with Crisco Butter Spray (this is important, I have tried other sprays and the Crisco butter spray tastes the best)
sprinkle with seasoning salt, I use Johnny's (be careful, the sprouts will shrink up during cooking therefore concentrating the seasoning, you don't want your sprouts too salty!)
Toss on the cookie sheet and place in the oven
every 5 minutes use a spatula to re-toss the sprouts and leaves
once the leaves are crisp and brown and each side of the sprouts is browned you are done!
I like mine pretty brown. The outer leaves that get really brown and crispy are the BEST part!
Enjoy!!
Thank you for posting this! I have a huge bag of brussel sprouts in my fridge needing to be eaten and now I will follow this delicious recipe!
