Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Eating vegetables was rarely part of our diet when we lived in Colombia and even after we arrived in this country. Truth is, I ate my first piece of broccoli when I was an adult, the same thing happened with other vegetables like asparagus and especially Brussels sprouts, which were completely new to me. Many people may get upset about this, but to be honest, many Colombians, not all, but many, don’t eat that many vegetables unless it’s a small cabbage salad and/or tomato slices.
The reason I wanted to include this recipe on the blog was mainly to change the mentality that eating vegetables is not pleasant, because it’s the complete opposite. These roasted Brussels sprouts are amazing and I’m not saying that to convince you to make them, I’m saying it because it’s true. The flavor they get from the olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper and from roasting them in the oven is delicious.
The best part is that you can use the same technique to roast other vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, zucchini, and many others. They come out delicious and super healthy.
¡Buen provecho!
