Food to Live By -- What's Round, Crispy and Delicious?

Roasted Brussels Sprouts on the Food Network

Costco had some nice looking bags of FRESH Brussels sprouts, so I bought them and then searched the web for what in the heck to do with them. Thanks to Ina Garten (love that name), here is a really simple recipe. Even if you think you don't like Brussels sprouts, you should check this out (click on the link under the photo). These aren't your mom's frozen, over-cooked, mushy lumps...these are crispy, flavorful and fresh.


The second time I made these, I added a little garlic salt, and when they were halfway cooked, I threw a salmon filet on the baking sheet. In about 30 minutes, I had a complete meal! Healthy food CAN be delicious! 


Fresh Brussels sprouts aren't always available, and this recipe won't work with frozen, but it works really well with fresh broccoli florets, too.
