Notes

When we were growing up we hated Brussel sprouts and no wonder why. These little baby green cabbages were always prepared boiled and tasteless.

Fast forward to today where we simply roast them instead of boiling them. Now we have another green vegetable that can be added to our favorites list.

Serving suggestion: Add some dried cranberries for color and flavor. This makes an incredible holiday dish.

You can also roast them without the bacon and the sugars like we did in the attached video and they are delicious also. These little sprouts are so versatile!
