Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic Aioli

Yet, who Am I To Judge Them? Brussels sprouts probably have the worst reputation of any vegetable. They’re the classic example of the vegetable hated by both kids and adults, only eaten because they’re so good for you. However, you can use the cooking magic to turn their thoughts around. First of all, using fresh Brussels sprouts makes a major world of difference. Secondly, roasting the sprouts takes these babies to a whole new level, because the bitter compounds in brussels sprouts are broken down by exposure to high heat and caramelization during roasting brings some sweetness to help balance the remaining bitter notes. Add a little garlic aioli on the side and you can mindlessly dip, dunk, and pop right into your mouth. YUM!

      Marilyn, while I agree that olive oil is a healthier option, canola is a plant, a very popularly grown crop in fact. If you ever see a crop in summer that is blooming bright yellow flowers, that’s canola 🙂

        Canola is not a plant. Canola oil comes from the oil produced from the Rape Seed. The industry started in Canada, and the development of the product name
        was born…Can ( Canada) ola (oil)…. Canola.

    Coconut oil…definitely!! It has a high heat tolerance and will also help “sweeten” the brussel sprouts! I love brussel sprouts. and this looks like a great recipe!!
