What I Made: Roasted Brussel Sprouts

(sometimes i can make good food. and take pretty pictures of em.)

i got inspired to make these because i had gotten some roasted brussel sprouts over tgiving break from whole foods. altho very yummy...i realized i could make it at home and not have it cost me (erm..my mom) $8/pound.

soo fast forward to winter break and oh..what do they have at costco?? humongo bags of brussel sprouts of course! scorez.

using recipes i've done for roasting other vegetables (and my innate chef-ness, duhhh) this is how i made em:

Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Ingredients

• Salt
  
• Black Pepper
  
• 1/4 cup olive oil
  
• 2 lb brussel sprouts, cut in half
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
  

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut the brussel sprouts in half and toss them with the oil, minced garlic, and salt & pepper to taste*.
Spread the sprouts over two of the biggest baking pans you have so they have space to cook.

bake for about 15 minutes.**

* I've been having issues with over-salting recently so i kinda cut back on it and just salted at the table, ha. but pepper.... we're bffs so i kinda added more than a normal person would
** i just took em out when i could smell the garlic and don't remember exactly how long they were in there...ha

i gotta say -- they were better than WF's. i think since i wasn't making 100's of pounds of the stuff, i was able to spread em out on the pan more so they crispy at the edges. also, i used evoo (WF used canola, i believe) which gave a better flavor. aaand i had em pretty peppery, hehe. will i be making these again?? hell yes. any tweeks? MAKING MOREEE. my mom and i went through these wayy too quickly :(
