Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I had never tried brussels sprouts mainly because I didn't think a vegetable with the name sprout in it could actually taste good, but that all changed about 3 weeks ago when I found this recipe over at Cheap Healthy Good. I can't say that I have fallen head over heels for these little round, green veggies but I love the fact that they are loaded with nutrients and offer a nice change to our vegetable repertoire. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts, ends cut off and yellow outer leaves removed
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and if you like, spray with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, mix Brussels sprouts, oil, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat. Pour mixture on baking sheet. Roast 35-40 minutes, shaking pan occasionally, until sprouts are browned and beautiful outside, tender and wonderful on the inside. Salt to taste. Serve.
