Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

The world is split into two camps, those who love sprouts and those who are not cooking them in the best way!
These cheap, readily available and highly nutritious veggies are just delicious if they are cooked away from a pan of boiling water. Which is why I love Roasted Brussels Sprouts.  The delicious caramelized outer leaves and soft – but in no way soggy – centres are a complete delight. They can even be put in the oven with the rest of a roast dinner, saving time and effort. The only problem is you won’t have any leftover next day because they will have all been munched…
