Brussels Sprouts!

I created this recipe last night...it was delicious and easy! 

Ingredients: Fresh garlic, brussels sprouts, and ground black pepper. The exact quantities don't matter.

Peel and slice 2-4 cloves of garlic.  Line a small baking dish with foil, and put your garlic on the foil.  Put the garlic in the toaster oven (or oven) for 30 minutes at 450 degrees.

Quarter the brussels sprouts.  Place them over the garlic in the baking pan.  Add water to a depth of about an eighth of an inch.  Sprinkle with pepper to taste.  Bake for another 30 minutes.

Enjoy!  Enjoy the taste and the good news nutritionals:

Per 4 ounce serving (about 6 large brussels sprouts, or 24 quarters): 50 calories, 5 grams of fiber (20%), and 180% of your daily vitamin C!

  1. when the sprouts are baked like that, what's their ultimate consistency? Are they still mushy? I've only ever had mushy and slimy brussels before, and they've been a real turn off for me. But I'm willing to give them a second shot!

  2. They came out nicely dried, not at all mushy - definitely worth another try!
