Elle's Kitchen: Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Good & Good For You

Okay, I can hear a good portion

of you making a resounding,

"bleck" noise when you think

about Brussel Sprouts.

But, you probably have never

had them roasted.  They are

nothing like the often soggy

boiled or (save us!) microwaved

in plastic kind.  And it is simple.

You will need :

brussel sprouts

salt & pepper

olive oil

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Peel off the tough outer leaves

and cut in half.

Place in an oven safe baking

dish and toss with salt & pepper

and olive oil,  roast at 375F

until caramelized and tender,

20 to 30 minutes.

Brussel Sprouts are cruciferous

vegetables, a special group of

vegetables that have excellent

cancer fighting properties.  They

contain a kind of photochemical

which stimulates our bodies to

breakdown potential carcinogens.
