Momma didn't just throw them in a pot of water and serve them. We had them roasted and Daddy even put them on the grill. Taste so good and good for you as well!

Ingredients
1 1/2 of Brussels sprouts. Try to get them the same size. These must be fresh not frozen!
2-3 Tablespoons of olive oil. I prefer extra virgin.
Kosher salt to taste. I use about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoons.
Freshly ground pepper to taste. I use about 1/2 teaspoon.
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400F
Cut off the ends of the sprouts. Throw them into a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. If you want to add some more spice to your life, add a few pinches of red pepper flakes. Get them all nice and coated and toss them onto a baking sheet.
Roast them for about 30-40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and nice and tender on the inside. Check them every so often to be sure they are not sticking. Shake them up a bit!
When done, put in a serving bowl, and add some roasted sliced almonds, or grated Parmesan cheese or how about some feta! You can forget the cheese and just toss with some balsamic vinegar.
Sauteed Brussels Sprouts
If you don't want to heat up the oven, Saute them in a large fry pan.
Ingredients are the same; however you need to cut the sprouts in half-length wise.
Add a bit of olive oil to the pan and heat to about med to med high. Lay the sprouts cut side down and get them nice and brown. If you like, add some mushrooms or sliced onions. When they are nice and tender they are done.
You can even put these on a skewer and grill them!
Until next time, keep cooking and don't forget to add the love!
