Brussels Sprouts: The Unsung Heroes of the Veggie World


I absolutely love Brussels sprouts and I think everyone else should too! I think they're easily one of the more underrated vegetables out there.


Normally, I'm completely opposed to people pushing their agendas on others, but when it comes to these green leafy layers of deliciousness, there's no limit to the lengths I'd go.

Cooking instructions for sprouts in ALL 3 types: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake on an aluminum-lined baking sheet, after following individual recipe instructions.

  • 1 lb. of Brussels sprouts, halved

  • 1/3 cup raw pine nuts

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • salt and pepper

Toss Brussels sprouts in all other ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Empty bowl onto a baking sheet, lined with foil, and bake according to above instructions.
