My love hate relationship brought me to think of ways to make Brussels taste better. Then by the help of my beautiful mother-in-law to be, gave me a tip that I’m still thanking her for!
Baked Brussels Sprouts! That sounded easy enough. So I tried it!
- Set your oven at 400 degrees.
- Put 10-12 Brussels for one person, Double if you cook for two in a bowl.
- Put one tablespoon of coconut oil in bowl with Brussels Sprouts.
- Toss the Brussels Sprouts in the coconut oil. Here I add salt and garlic.
- Put the Brussels Sprouts in baking pan with foil or coconut oil on the bottom so they don’t stick.
- Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
The end result you are looking for is a soft inside with a crunchy outside.
I love to mix my Brussels Sprouts with another vegetable like green beans. They taste unbelievable and I love the crunchiness of the outside flakes!
So there you go! Enjoy your Brussels sprouts! xxx <3 A&L
