OMG! Burned Brussel Sprouts Are Delicious!

While at Weight Watchers at any given meeting; food is always the topic. So Friday night somebody mentioned burnt brussel sprouts and the place became abuzz. So many people have nightmares of their childhood sitting in front of a plate of brussel sprouts long after the meal is over trying to down those puppies. But wait, there is hope or at least revenge for those little cabbage heads...burn them!

Now what you have to do is take brussels sprouts (I used the fresh ones although I did have some in those steam bags) and cut their hard bottom core out. Then quarter them. If there are any yucky leaves on the outside, you can throw them away. Then take a bowl and put them in it and pour over a few teaspoons of olive oil or canola oil and some salt and pepper. Make sure to mix them well and put them in a pan in the oven until they are dark browned. You will smell them as they get well done so then it is time to check them and maybe give them a turn or two. Let them get good and brown and just eat them like you would potato chips.

I kid you not, they are delicious and you may have found your new guilt-free addiction. As a Weight Watcher, I find it difficult to get my healthy oil on a daily basis. But now my free veggies are something I look forward to having. After the meeting, I went to BJ's Wholesale Club and got a pound and a half package of them. I only do three or four at a time because they go a long way and I am the only one eating them, but I finish them all when I make them.
