Caramelized Brussels Sprouts

If you looking for a great side with wonderful taste and nutrition, try caramelized Brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts are rich in many valuable nutrients. They are an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin K. They are a very good source of numerous nutrients including folate, manganese, vitamin B6, dietary fiber, choline, copper, vitamin B1, potassium, phosphorus and omega-3 fatty acids. Add the rich taste from caramelized sprouts and you have a winner. This dish has won over many Brussels Sprout haters.

Many chefs caramelize the sprouts in a pan on the stove and use butter. It is certainly delicious prepared in this classic way. As I’ve mentioned before, I have been roasting most vegetables for the last 10 years for great flavor with lower fat.  Today’s recipe uses extra virgin olive oil and brown sugar to caramelize the sprouts while roasting. This dish goes well with fish, meat, chicken, and even other veggies on a vegetable plate. It’s extremely versatile.

  3. I’ve just started eating brussel sprouts in the last few years and now I love them. This recipe looks so good! Thank you for sharing with Party in your PJ’s. I pinned and shared.

  4. Carol that looks like such a delicious recipe. By caramelizing it you add so much more flavor than if it was just with the olive oil.
