out the color & soften the sprouts.

5. Bake longer for crunchy texture & serve hot.

STORY BEHIND THE DISH
The first time I tried these brussel sprouts was when my sister-in-law baked them at my parents house. The crispier the better in my opinion, they are simple, hearty, & healthy.

MODIFICATIONS 

 This veggie side can pair well with protein. I suggest Dr. Pepper Flank steak or Balsamic Pork Tenderloin.
