The 77th recipe I made with the Eating with Ellie group is Roasted Brussels Sprouts, and can be found in Ellie Krieger's book So Easy, on page 188. The theme for the week was chosen by Margaret: Fall Harvest.
Ingredient list: Brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt.
Brussels sprouts always seem to get a bad rap. Whenever they are mentioned most everyone goes, "ewwww" and the discussion comes to an abrupt end. I happen to love Brussels sprouts. I just steam them for a little tiny bit and put a tiny glisten of butter on them and a little tiny bit of salt, and that's all they need, they are just wonderful. Yes, they are...stop that right now.
Roasting the Brussels sprouts is new to me, I haven't made them like this before and I have to say these are fantastic. The outer leaves turn sort of papery and crunchy and the inner part is soft but not mushy. I didn't add a thing to them and they were just perfect. Definitely a repeat, and often!
