Roasted Brussels Sprouts
When you roast veggies, it actually can make them sweeter and tastier. If you're not a fan of Brussels sprouts, then try this method and you find your new favorite veggie side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Brussels sprouts
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- 1 lemon (quartered)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Wash Brussels sprouts and peel off any leaves that are brown or have little holes.
- Slice the very bottom part off, the part that was attached to the stalk.
- Either quarter or half the sprouts (I prefer quartered).
- Lay sprouts on a baking sheet and pour oil, salt, and pepper on top.
- Mix oil, salt, and pepper in very well. Make sure all of the sprouts are coated.
- Bake until leaves are starting to brown at the edges and the dense part of the sprout is beginning to soften. Usually about 15 minutes.
- Squeeze lemon juice on top (this gets rid of any bitter flavor that Brussels sprouts sometimes have).
- I love to serve them with blue cheese and toasted pine nuts.

This is almost exactly how I make mine but I usually cook them longer at a lower temperature and I try to use bacon grease if at all possible. I love to quarter my Brussels sprouts, too. I can just taste them now. Yum.
Bacon grease is my new favorite way to make my brussels!
