Roasted Brussel Sprouts

I love brussel sprouts.  Yes, you heard that correctly.  My name is Tiffany and I love brussel sprouts.  But brussel sprouts seem to have a bad reputation.  Just the name makes people gag.  I too am a former child skeptic of the vegetable.  I swear our mother’s only knew one way to cook them and it was not the good way.  But trust me, this is a good way.  These brussel sprouts are not the soft, mushy brussel sprouts of days past.  They have flavor, they have texture, they have all the things that brussel sprouts should be….and more.  I bring you……

What you’ll need:
* Cast iron skillet
* A stove and a hot oven

Ingredients:
* 3-4 cups brussel sprouts (or however many you want to make)
* 1/4ish cup EVOO (more or less depending on amount of brussel sprouts)
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1/8 tsp pepper
* Optional: Parmasean cheese

Directions:
* Turn on oven to broil
* Warm cast iron skillet on stove on medium high heat
* Cut brussel sprouts in half lengthwise
* In medium bowl, coat brussel sprouts in EVOO
* Add salt and pepper and stir
* Add the brussel sprouts to the skillet
* Turn 1 time, almost immediately, so just the outsides brown
* Put cast iron skillet in the oven for 20 minutes

I swear these are so tasty.  Just add a little parmasean cheese and you’re set!  These are part of our weekly menu at our house, and I’m just gonna say they should be part of yours as well.  They go great with a good steak.

Enjoy!
