This recipe was an accompaniment to my Greek Rosemary Chicken main dish. It is very fast, only 3 steps, and with only a few ingredients it’s simple to follow and healthy. Not everyone is a fan of sprouts, I realize, but perhaps that’s because they’ve only tried them steamed, which stinks up the kitchen and is rather bland.

When you roast Brussels Sprouts they have so much more flavor, no odor, and a fun crunch in each bite. Also, when you roast them, you keep in a lot more of the health benefits like vitamins K and C. Ever wonder how to say Brussels Sprouts in Greek? Of course you do! .λαχανακια Βρυξελλων. You’re welcome! Enjoy!
