Some people don’t like Brussels sprouts, but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love roasted Brussels sprouts.
Especially when you add enough good fat (butter, lard, bacon grease, etc.) and sea salt. They get carmelized and are so delicious!
Even kids love them They are one of my daughter’s favorites. And, by the way, she does not like regular boiled Brussels sprouts.
Roasted Brussels sprouts is a great side dish for roast chicken or duck, and it’s perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.

Sea salt and black pepper, freshly ground (to taste)

Directions
1. Set the oven on broil.
2. Cut off the stems of the brussels sprouts and remove any yellow outer leaves.

4. Spread them out evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Using a spatula or tongs, spread the Brussels sprouts around on the baking sheet occasionally so the sprouts brown evenly.

YUM!!! I grow brussels sprouts cause we’re such huge fans. We harvest them all winter. I’ve pinned this re link love.
This is one of my favorite vegetable recipes! I made it last night using bacon grease. I also added a sliced carrot, which looked really pretty.
I made this for Thanksgiving 2011, and the friends we invited over for dinner told me weeks later they were still talking about the brussels sprouts! This will definitely convert anyone who had them boiled as a child.
I appreciate, lead to I found just what I was looking for. You’ve ended my four day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye
Heya terrific blog! Does running a blog such as this require a lot of work? I’ve virtually no understanding of computer programming but I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyhow, if you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic however I just wanted to ask. Thank you!
I tried to follow the recipe as written, but it was not working for us as the sprouts were starting to burn after just about 4 minutes. Perhaps it could be added that the oven rack needs to be in the middle of the oven to broil these for 10-15 minutes or they will surely burn! Most people I know broil things on the top rack and for very short times…
Thank you for the guideline though! Will be trying these again with rack in middle. :-)
