Why should you eat Brussels Sprouts?

Well, most importantly, they are good for you!

• Brussels sprouts are like little cabbages. They are packed with nutrients and anti-oxidants, high in fiber, Vitamin C and Vitamin K.

• Brussels sprouts are one of the best plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids and they may also come with added health benefits, including the potential to reduce the risk of cancer, decrease inflammation and improve blood sugar control.

• They are very underrated, mostly because they have a reputation for not tasting good. This recipe is one of many that proves they can be delicious.

How to Make Roasted Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

This simple recipe wraps the Brussels sprouts in flavor and roasting them in the oven keeps them from getting soggy. This method of cooking is easy and the Brussels sprouts are delicious!

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Clean the Brussels sprouts and cut in half. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine sliced garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, kosher salt and pepper.

You can use ANY grated Parmesan for this – even the “green shaker Parm” works great!

Stir well to combine. It will make a thick paste.

Add the prepared Brussels sprouts to the Parmesan mixture and toss until well coated.

Spread the coated Brussels sprouts out in a 9×13 glass baking dish.

For best results, flip as many as you can flat side down.

Roast in the preheated 400 degree F oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once, until the Brussels sprouts are crisp tender.

Serve immediately. Enjoy!
