I love Brussels sprouts. I hated them as a kid but now I can't get enough of them. My mother gave me some fresh Brussels sprouts (not frozen) to take home from Thanksgiving and tonight I decided to cook them up. Try out my recipe and see what you think. I think that it was a hit with my dinner guests this evening.
Brussels Sprouts with Apples and Walnuts
2 lbs Brussels sprouts, cleaned and cut in half
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 apples, peeled and diced into chunks (baking apple preferred)
1 cup of walnuts, chopped
2 tbsp of maple syrup
salt and pepper to taste
fresh basil and garlic to taste
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the Brussels sprouts, oil, apples, salt, pepper, basil and garlic in a large zip lock baggie and shake up till it is mixed well and spread on a baking sheet. Bake the sprout mixture in the oven for about 35 minutes, mixing it occasionally so as to not brown on only one side. After 35 minutes, pull the baking sheet out and drizzle the maple syrup on the sprouts and sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top. Mix in and bake for another ten minutes or until nice and brown. Serve immediately.
Well, I am off to bed. I am meeting with JC in the morning. Should be an interesting session since this is the first time back since Thanksgiving. Wish me luck! Till tomorrow.
