This is so easy it probably shouldn’t even count as a recipe but I wanted to share with you in case you didn’t have already a technique for perfect, crispy, but yet still light, roasted Brussels sprouts.

Brussels Spouts are one of my favorite winter vegetables and though I do things like this to them, my absolute favorite way to eat them is roasted.  Roasted and crispy yet not oily! YUM!!

The thing about them is they really don’t need a ton of stuff.  I’ve tried it all — herbs, spices, garlic, ginger– you name it.  I just keep coming back to this simple recipe. These are definitely a staple in our house! They are so easy and go with so many things—we love them straight out of the oven, when they are the most crispy!

NOTES:

  • I divided this recipe into 2 servings at 2 Points Plus.  You could serve 3 or 4 as a smaller side dish and the Points Plus would be 1 Point per person.
