Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Do you like Brussels sprouts? If so, this is an easy-peasy recipe that you may enjoy with your dinner.


Fresh Brussels sprouts will work, too, but need to be sliced in half for best results. I prefer the baby (or petite) ones sold in the frozen foods.  They don't need to be cut. Spread them out into a single layer in a baking dish. Drizzle a few tablespoons of olive oil over them and then sprinkle sea salt, cracked pepper and sesame seeds. Bake them in a 350 degree oven for 30-45 minutes, depending upon the size of the sprouts. Immediately upon removing them from the oven, douse them with grated parmesan cheese and serve. An alternative option  (for a dish with a little "bite") is to substitute the sesame seeds with dried pepper flakes.



These make a good side served with fresh fruit salad, grilled meat and baked potatoes.

Enjoy!
