Simply the Best Brussels Sprouts

So for most of my life brussels sprouts got a pretty bad rap.....and steamed brussles sprouts(aka the kind out parents grew up on) are pretty darn nasty! Luckily these little bites of heaven have made a big resurgence in the past year are so- and now they are everywhere! While you can prepare them SO many ways, and add all sorts of yummy things (Pancetta) to make the tasty- this is recipe yields a very simple, but intensely wonderful brussels sprout!

Roasted Brussles Sprouts:

Ingredients:
Brussels Sprouts(I usually make about a skillet full)
1 1/2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
salt
garlic salt
pepper


Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350
-So even though this recipe is for roasted brussels sprouts there is a step that involves the stove- and this is a crucial step- Clean your sprouts and cut them in half (make sure to remove any loose outer leaves and the entire stalk when cleaning)

-melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and sprinkle some salt and garlic salt into the melted butter
-place the brussels flat side down into the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes- while the are cooking coat the backs of the brussels with olive oil as well as salt and pepper- 
-once the middles begin to brown slightly you can stir them around in the pan for a minute or two to coat the entire brussel in oil and seasoning. 

-place the brussels flate side up(my picture us from before I turned them all over) on baking sheet and cook for about 15-20- shaking the pan and allowing them to turn at least once during the baking time!




This is so simple and easy- but the skillet portion of this recipe makes a big difference! This recipe makes the most tender and tasty brussels sprouts I have been able to produce at home- and I have gotten in the habit of eating this about 3 times a week! enjoy!
