I can't get enough...

...brussel sprouts! I don't know why but they have become my veggie of choice lately. Which is good because according to the nutrition data link below they are very good for you and are loaded with vitamins and have a low glycemic impact which is always helpful. The best part is they are easy to make and can be stored and reheated as well. Below is my favorite recipe. Enjoy!

Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Take a one pound bushel of brussel sprouts and soak in warm water for five minutes to remove sand and debris. Strain and pat dry. Cut stem off of the ends and half the brussel sprouts. Toss in bowl with olive oil, sea salt and ground pepper until lightly coated. Spread on baking sheet in single layer and bake in oven pre-heated to 425 degrees. Cook for 25 minutes until brussel sprouts are golden brown, shaking the pan every 5 to 7 seven minutes to avoid them burning to the pan. Voila!

You can also add other spices as you like them such as garlic, cayenne, cumin or even add some Parmesan or bacon (hubby loves it with the bacon but since i do not have his crazy man metabolism i usually keep it separate and let him add it in.)
