What do you think about Brussels sprouts? Do you love them or hate them? Over the past few years, I feel like they’re becoming more and more popular and I couldn’t be happier! They’re one of my favorite fall-winter vegetables: they’re fresh, healthy and filling and pair well with all sorts of seasonings.

The other day, while going to the market with my sister, I came across some pretty little Brussels sprouts. I love them, but since kids aren’t really fans of them, I often tend to avoid them. This time, however, I decided not to leave them out!
At the time, I didn’t yet know how I was going to cook them, but luckily, I always have my famous list of 300 recipes to try on hand. I was sure I would find a good idea there… And bingo! Two recipes using Brussels sprouts were noted down, including this one: roasted Brussels sprouts, a recipe inspired by my Crispy Carrot Fries. I jumped in without hesitation, and I must say that the result exceeded my expectations. Not only did we enjoy them, but, miracle of miracles, even the kids loved them! Needless to say, these little sprouts are no longer in danger of being put aside at my house.

This recipe is surprisingly simple. Just clean the cabbages well, blanch them for 5 minutes in boiling water to soften them, then coat them with a mixture of olive oil, garlic and parmesan. Then, put them in the oven for about twenty minutes until they are golden and crispy. And there you have it! A tasty accompaniment to serve very hot like roast meats or in sauce, but this recipe will also be perfect as an aperitif with a little homemade sauce.
