ROASTED BRUSSEL SPROUTS

Not many people like Brussel Sprouts.  I do.  I try different recipes.  This one is extremely easy to make.  Makes a great side dish to any kind of poultry or fish.

1 kg. (2 pounds) Brussel sprouts

2 cloves garlic

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup crushed salted walnuts

salt and pepper

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

• Preheat oven to 400
• Clean brussel sprouts by removing the outside layers and cutting off a bit of the base.   Then wash and cut them in half
• Mix together olive oil, garlic and crushed walnuts, salt and pepper (and the optional balsamic vinegar)
• Mix with Brussel sprouts
• Line the pan with cooking paper and pour Brussel sprouts onto the cooking paper.  Turn them all over the cut side down
• Cook for 23-30 minutes until soft and golden brown
• Serve warm and enjoy!
