Confession. I fell off the diet bandwagon while my mom was in town… Her cooking was my demise, #truestory! I was blessed to have her here for TEN days! And guess what? She was willing to cook dinner for us every night while she was here! Talk about being a little spoiled. While some meals were healthy, others weren’t so much. However, the reality is, I enjoyed every single bite! {giggle} Soooo, with that being said, I thought I better get back on track! Why must I love food so much? Anywho, that’s where these Roasted Brussels Sprouts come into the picture!
This is my moms recipe — and while Brussel Sprouts aren’t everyones favorite food, these are quite tasty and incredibly easy! I couldn’t wait to get my photographs taken and eat them up.
A savory side dish that is packed with flavor and guilt free!
Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Ingredients
- 1 lb. brussel sprouts
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
- Parmesan Cheese optional
Instructions
-
Set your oven to 400.
-
In a large bowl, mix the brussel sprouts with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
-
Pour them on sheet pan, preferably lined with parchment paper, and roast 35 to 40 minutes until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
-
Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly.
-
Top with parmesan, if desired, and serve.
Recipe Notes
Without the Parmesan Cheese, for two servings, the PointsPlus value is 4 per serving and for four servings, the PointsPlus value is 2 per serving.
If we have to eat our vegetables, then we might as well enjoy them, right? I love Brussel Sprouts and these are an all time favorite. Do you like Brussel Sprouts? If not, what is your favorite vegetable?
Care to stay in the loop? I’d love to have you!

Cooking them too long makes them bitter.
