Roasted Brussels Sprouts are the perfect side dish to accompany any meal! Roasting Brussels sprouts in the oven helps to bring out their natural sweetness and take away the bitterness.

Happy Thursday! Today I’m sharing an easy way to cook Brussels sprouts that actually makes them taste good! Brussels sprouts have a tendency to be bitter, which is why many people are turned off by them. BUT – there is a way to make them taste not bitter and that is by roasting! Roasting helps to caramelize the veggie’s natural sugars and this helps to mask the bitterness. 

This recipe is so easy– tossed with parmesan, olive oil, salt/pepper and onion powder and roasted for 20 minutes! I made you a video to show you how easy it is! You’ll need a sheet pan and a sharp knife. 

I found these cute tiny Brussels sprouts at Sprouts Farmer’s Market. Because of their size, they’re extra tender!

The balsamic glaze I used is from Trader Joe’s. It’s a pre-made balsamic glaze that comes in an easy poor bottle. One of my favorite TJ’s products!

 These Brussels sprouts taste awesome right out of the oven. They make good leftovers too, but I wouldn’t keep them more than a day or so in the fridge. Fresh is best!

 Also, the more cheese and olive oil, the better these taste. Don’t be afraid to really load up the sprouts with tons of parmesan and oil!
