Roasted Brussels Sprouts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This roasted Brussels sprouts recipe is another delicious low-carb\u00a0thanksgiving side<\/a>\u00a0to add to your\u00a0holiday dinner table<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all of the incredible recipes being shared lately, this one from Ina Garten (one of my favourite cooks) caught my eye, which is saying something since I’m not a huge fan of sprouts at all<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe, only slightly adapted, is INCREDIBLE. Roasted Brussels sprouts soak up the delicious garlic, olive oil, and bacon flavor. They cook in the oven to create a flavor combination you can\u2019t beat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bacon or pancetta complements sprouts so well, similar to the flavors I use in my creamy sprouts with bacon<\/a>. But it\u2019s the addition of garlic and a drizzle of balsamic glaze<\/a> in this Brussels sprouts recipe that really elevates the flavor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why This Recipe Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I avoided Brussels sprouts for years until I realized that boiling or steaming them was the actual problem. After plenty of testing, I found that roasting them at a high temperature is the absolute best technique. It forces the moisture out quickly, allowing the outer leaves to crisp up instead of turning soft and mushy. This high-heat method completely removes that bitter, sulfur taste people usually complain about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skipping the blanching step also makes this process incredibly easy. You do not need to boil water or dirty extra pots. Everything goes straight onto one large baking sheet, making the prep work and the cleanup fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also a fantastic low-carb option. I rely on this exact roasting method during the holidays when I need a simple, reliable side dish that fits into different dietary needs without losing any texture or quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, it has become a Christmas tradition to bring the whole roast chicken with a few Brussels sprouts to the table, and even the kids enjoy this side dish recipe with the whole family. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
