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 Brussel 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!

- 1 lb. brussel sprouts
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
- Parmesan Cheese, optional
- 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.
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!

Thank you Kelly for the nice and easy recipe. You’ll get back on your diet. It’s hard to be on a diet when you have visitors.
Thanks Liz! …and you’re welcome. 🙂 I agree that having visitors can make dieting a challenge. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. xo.
Love me some brussel sprouts. Didnt like them for such a long time…they were always so bitter but now that I know how to cook them they are delightful.
Cooking them too long makes them bitter.
