Update: Click here for more fabulous Brussels Sprouts Recipes. That little green veggie used to torture kids all across America. As you read this, know that somewhere, some mom is forcing their child to eat brussels sprouts. However for me, I must admit that I like them. Quite a bit. I was a lucky child who grew up in a brussels sprout-free household. I don’t think I had even seen a brussels sprout until I came down here to Southern California. So by the time that I actually tried them, I had no preconceived gag reflexes. I simply ate and enjoyed.
Guarding Lunch (from possoms & Dante) Favorite Classic Roasted Brussels Sprouts RecipeNow, there are many food items which I hated as a child and have grown to love. I couldn’t stand tomatoes as a kid (it was the texture) but now can’t imagine a summer without them. Tomatoes are easily one of my favorite things to grow and eat straight from the vine. And beans just weren’t my thing growing up. Not the green bean type, I was cool with those, but black beans or re-fried beans or anything of the such. Straight out hated them. But now the gagging is gone and I can actually heartily enjoy a good pinto or especially beans cooked with duck fat. So tasty! If you do have an aversion to brussels sprouts, we understand. But as grandma would say, “Just try a little bit. You never know, you might actually like it.” That open minded approach has allowed me to embrace and enjoy foods I would never have expected.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Vinegar is a Fantastic Combination of FlavorsThis recipe for brussels sprouts roasted with balsamic vinegar is easily my favorite way to have them. It’s quick, simple and tasty. At the restaurant where I used to manage, we had a medley of roasted veggies with balsamic vinegar, and I always found myself snagging the brussels sprouts, beets, and sweet potatoes for a little munchie. The sweet tang of the balsamic vinegar livens up the little mini-cabbages quite nicely. If they are roasted correctly, the roasted brussels sprouts will still have a slight bit of crunch to the texture, and not seem mushy. Hope you like these roasted brussels sprouts as much as we do. -Todd. How Long To Bake or Roast Brussels Sprouts?
