Now wait before you jump to the conclusion that I just said your mama didn’t know how to cook. That’s not what I mean.
For the most part, people cook Brussels Sprouts to death. When they get cooked to death, the get bitter and kinda slimy. Now, I am not saying that your mama was the only one that did this, lots of mamas did.
It was the cool thing to do… you know… to overcook Brussels Sprouts. 🙂 Well, it’s time to change that. If you’ve previously tasted these little babies and hated them, you need to give this recipe a try.
To start, we use fresh Brussels sprouts. In today’s world, they’re pretty easy to come by in your grocery store’s produce section. Next, we cook them at a high heat so that they cook quickly and get a little crispy on the outside. The high heat also helps to caramelize the outside, which adds even more great flavor. And then we add in those savory, golden brown roasted mushrooms for even more flavor! Yum! Not a mushroom lover? Simply leave them out.
Even my vegetable haters LOVE these Brussels Sprouts. To kick them up a notch, you can even sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese over them when you take them out of the oven… ooooo, weeee! So good! Y’all enjoy
