Simple and Delicious Brussels Sprouts (w/ sort of, a recipe)

[Guest guest]

We eat roasted Brussels sprouts often.

 

Toss a bunch in a bit of olive oil and then sprinkle

with coarse salt.

 

How much oil & salt depends on how many sprouts. You

don't have to worry about too much oil, but it's best

to go light on the salt.

 

And if you're dealing with older, large sprouts, you

can halve them to make sure they cook through.

 

Spread them out in a roasting pan (I use an old iron

pan) and place in the middle of a 350F oven for about

20 minutes.

 

The sprouts are done when they're brown, even with

some black spots on the outer leaves, which the oil &

heat will have crisped up nicely.

 

They're very flavorful roasted this way. Even people

with " little cabbage " aversion like them.

 

Or so they've told me when sitting at my table.

This is how I usually prepare mine. Very quick &

easy. I usually leave mine in longer than 20 minutes,

and I shake the pan & stir them up a few times during

cooking to make sure they crisp evenly.

 

Last time I made these I was packing some in my

lunchbox for the following day. I noticed one of my

cats off in the corner with something and went to see

what he had. He had stolen a sprout from my lunchbox

and was happily eating it. He finished the whole

thing.

 

If a cat is willing to try Brussels sprouts, so should

you! (Not YOU specifically, the general " you " !) This

cat also stole some baked tofu from my lunchbox once.

I think we should have a support group for people who's pets love

veggies. I can't leave steamed brocolli out to cool for fear that

my kitten will grab a floret and start munching away. Just today I

found telltale green buds on my kitchen floor. Bad kitty! Or, er,

good kitty!

That's fabulous! I thought that my cat was an

oddball! He loved any veggies except leafy greens

(just like my six year old) and he too would sneak

them off the counter and unattended plates. I simply

started making enough for him. Cats are after all

omnivores not carnivores and we all know that felines

have exquisite tastes! Happy Equinox!
