Roasted Brussels Sprout Chips

Brussels Sprouts seem to be all the rage these days…Pinterest is filled with recipes boasting this little cabbage ball roasted, baked, and even served with bacon.

I remember as a kid that I HATED when my mom made brussels sprouts. No offense to my lovely mother (who is actually a wonderful cook), but she would just steam them and I couldn’t stand them. My sisters, on the other hand, both loved them so we had them quite a bit.

These days, I’m all over that lovely little brussels sprout. My go-to cooking method had been lightly sautéing them with olive oil, salt, pepper until I discovered my newest sprout obsession: Roasted Brussels Sprout Chips.

Basically, you peel the leaves off these little green beauties, dress them lightly with olive oil, salt and pepper and then roast them until they are crunchy and chip-like. But my favorite part is lightly brushing them after they are perfectly roasted with olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes. You guys they are so good! Roasting them makes them so crunchy and the red pepper and garlic gives them a little kick.

They are the perfect snack…crunchy, lightly salty, and much healthier than many options.
