Happy Hump Day!
How about a mid week pick me up with vegetables?!?
I know brussel sprouts have a bad rep, but I absolutely adore them!
They’re cute and precious AND taste delicious!
…especially when roasted. 😉
So, why not transform your cute, little, precious brussel sprouts into golden goddesses like these?!?
Do you like brussel sprouts? How do you like to prepare them?

I ADORE Brussels… and the only way to eat them – in my opinion – is by roasting them to crispy perfection. I really like the sound of adding lemon juice to the mix; I’ll have to try that next time!
I am a huge fan of roasted brussel sprouts, love!
We love Brussels sprouts at our house. Have them at least once a week. I steam them then add butter and lemon juice. Your recipe looks great. We’ll try it tonight.
Lemon?! Yum!
Mmmm…delicious and nutritious! I like to saute mine in butter and add a ton of garlic. I’ve never tried roasting them in the oven, great idea!
Oh, these are my favorite vegetable!!! I cut mine in half and pan roast them cut side down in olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and… Worcestershire sauce!!! I can’t wait to try yours for next week. I needed an oven recipe for my daughters birthday party. Yep, my kids even ask for them!!
Love brussels sprouts! I actually hated them growing up, but since trying them roasted, I love them! I actually do my broccoli similar to this with lemon and pine nuts(although usually I just use sunflower seeds or chopped almonds because I don’t have them around). I need to try it with brussels sprouts!
I wish I had some of these for dinner tonight. Right up my alley!
These look great! So simple and pretty. I might add the zest of the lemon as well, and a few golden raisins may even make it in for a little sweetness.
Love roasted brussel sprouts! I was on a kick last year and made them all the time, I think I need to revisit those days. I got a little burnt out on them but this recipe sounds light and refreshing! Great pic above the recipe title!
My family has recently become OBSESSED with brussel sprouts, and this looks like an amazing version. We love lemon-y things, so this is perfect. Yummy…drooling already!
This sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try it! My favorite way to prepare brussel sprouts, thus far, is tossing them with olive oil and about lots of minced cloves of garlic, course sea salt and pepper and roasting them til they’re getting crispy on the edges.
These look amazing. No one else in my house eats them but its one of my favorites. My favorite way is roasted with a little olive oil and garlic. Yum!
We LOVE them!! either on the grill or roasted. with Bacon and onions browned, then cook sprouts till tender crisp!! could have that as a whole meal!!
Looks great! My husband loves brussel sprouts!
Munching on a bowl of these right now with some roast chicken. First time cooking brussels sprouts and I’m so pleased:) Thanks so much for sharing the delicious and easy recipe!
Caroline!

Life has brought you a long way since the historic house on St. Philips 🙂
Congratulations on all your blessings and accomplishments, you deserve it!!
Woah! That’s crazy! Haha…definitely have come a long way. 😀 I love it! I hope you are doing great! I miss the good times at 17 St. Philips! 😉
Love brussel sprouts and other healthy fruits & veggies! These look amazing!
Love Brussel Sprouts and had never thought of roasting them!! I make a little dressing for them with butter, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, pepper and basil.
We’ve become a new fan of Brussel Sprout since my daughter prepared them for us Christmas ’10. She pan roast them with a little olive oil which she lightly cooked the onion and garlic. Then adds chopped dried figs which she reconstutited and crumbled bacon….m-mmmm the fresh sprouts with the touch of sweet and salty,smokey bacon….a taste delight!!!
We loved this recipe. The balance of favors was perfect. Thanks for another good way to cook Brussels sprouts.
I loved this recipe! The lemon goes really well with the sprouts.
My girlfriend makes them with maple bacon. Chop the bacon into small pieces and slice the brussels sprouts in half. Saute together. After the sprouts cook, add some seasoning if you wish and add a splash of balsamic vinegar to top it all off.
Do you really need to use that much oil for them to turn out, or could I use just a scant tsp. and have them caramelize and crisp up?
I would use the full tablespoon. It’s not that much once scattered throughout the 2-3 cups of brussel sprouts. 😀 I would just be afraid that they would dry out if you didn’t use enough oil.
