Roasted Sliced Brussels Sprouts With Garlic

Rita~'s Note:

Just made a roast? This is Great to make while roasts are resting. Just have it prepped and ready to put into the hot oven. Brussels sprouts are loaded with vitamin A, folacin, potassium, calcium. Have 3-5 grams of fiber per cup, and at 25 calories per 1/2 cup cooked, they give us a reason to eat them more often. Brussels sprouts are one of those foods that will fill you up, without filling you out. For vegetarians you can make a grain along side these because they have a good amount of protein. This also works great when you stir fry them!
