Savory Roasted Brussels Sprouts
"No one will be able to resist these slightly crispy, herby, savory roasted Brussels sprouts. They’re the perfect side dish to any weeknight meal and still impressive enough to serve guests. They’re also the perfect dish to serve people who think they don’t like Brussels sprouts. This recipe will make anyone a fan. These aren’t Grandma’s soggy old sprouts! Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetable and leaves them with a slightly crispy crunch. If you have any leftover—and you probably won’t—toss them into a cold green salad for lunch or dip them into bleu cheese salad dressing for a satisfying snack. They’re just as delicious hot or cold. For the best results, choose sprouts that firm, dark green and not too large. Larger sprouts can be tough inside and may take longer to roast than medium-sized sprouts. Brussels sprouts are often thought as a fall vegetable, but they are available year round in most regions."
