Here’s what I’m thinking. If this recipe can get a wiggly toddler to ignore two dogs and sit down for a bowl of brussels sprouts (the sleepy great dane on the left belongs to Meeker’s parents. His name is Sergeant Charlie Blue. Adrienne calls him CHARLA-BARLA), you should probably give it a chance. Mmmkay? It only takes about twenty minutes, start to finish. Sure, your house will smell bad for a couple of hours, but think of all the health benefits.
Actually don’t. I don’t even know the health benefits of brussels sprouts. We’re just going for taste here, folks, and they taste good.

PRINT Recipe
- 1 lb brussels sprouts
- 1 T olive oil
- 2 head garlic (peeled and cut goodfellas style – sliced thinly)
- salt and pepper
- 2 T parmesan cheese, grated
- juice of half a lemon
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Discard the outside leaves of the brussels sprouts, and cut the bottom root off. Then chop them roughly. (I had very small sprouts, and I cut them into quarters. If you have large ones, you might cut them into eighths)
Then drizzle them with olive oil and put the thinly sliced garlic on top of the sprouts. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and pop them in the oven for 10 minutes.
Remove the sprouts, sprinkle them with the cheese and roast another 8 – 10 minutes. Finish them off with the lemon juice and enjoy!



Oh yes!! Brussels are almost always worth the funky house smell.
So cute how Adrienne is surround by two huge dogs and all she can focus on is her brussels sprouts.
I need these!! Yum.
her pants!!
I will always take a smelly house over good food! The little chair is too cute!
I’ve never tried brussel sprouts that I like–they always taste too bitter for me! Does the cheese help that?
They still have a slightly bitter taste, but not overpowering. I think the lemon juice helps that, too.
i heart Brussels in a major way. mmm!
I gotta try this. Looks divine! Also, don’t ya just love those Anywhere Chairs?? Very cute!
my mom has definitely made a version of these before and they are amazing!! I adore brussels! Now if only I could get the boyfriend to eat them
We love brussels sprouts over here!!! And I die at the thought of A saying “charla-barla!” oh.m.g.
The best brussels sprouts? Isn’t that a little bit of an oxymoron? No, I’m kidding. I’ve actually never even tried brussels sprouts. They kind of scare me… I imagine them to taste like little balls of cabbage. I think tons of parmesan cheese would help alleviate my fears, though.
I love brussels sprouts! I also love that your toddler eats them!
Oh good grief. I love what you do to me.
We are a huge fan of brussels sprouts over here! Gotta try this one out!
Those dogs look huge next to Adrienne! Can’t believe she’ll eat these, she could teach my boy a lesson in eating your veggies:)
Those dogs are huge next to anyone.
YUM! I have roasted broccoli this way, too!
In other news, I’m gonna need those wintery leggings and slippers in my size, asap. Mkay? Thanks.
I love brussels sprouts! This recipe looks delish. And your photos are so pretty!
There you go, invading my fridge while I slept again, seeing that I had some brussels sprouts to use up. I will be making these TONIGHT.
Is there anything more precious than a foodie toddler? The look of fierce concentration when she is enjoying something delicious is adorable.
Not only do you always have amazing recipes to share, but your pictures are even more amazing. I really do love all the candid shots that you take and I aspire to do the same one day when I have a family of my own.
thank you.
You’re blog is one of my daily reads and it always brings a smile to my face
Ah, this is how we do them and it is so good. I was a Brussels sprouts hater until a friend made them this way. We converted.
I’m a HUGE fan of roasted brussels sprouts. I love the addition of parm and lemon! Your daughter’s pants are just too cute
I would like to see A sprawled atop a big pile of cute puppies. I think the cuteness factor would be too much to handle!
AND YES to these. A million times yes!
Yum! We all know how much I love brussels sprouts (if it’s possible to OD, I’m likely very close to doing so), but I don’t actually think I’ve ever squeezed lemon on them – good idea!
Yes please! I will be making these!
LOVE brussels sprouts.
LOVE the chair.
LOVE the pic with A and the pups.
LOVE this post.
Brussel Sprouts are my favorite!!! these look awesome!

I adore Brussels sprouts, but I’ve never had them quite like this. Until tomorrow…

I’ve been taken this Japanese 2 Day Diet http://daydiet.blog.163.com/ for 1 week currently, I heard quite a bit about botanical slimming item, I haven’t made use of diet plan tablets ahead of ,so I had no idea which item is effective, but I seems there are numerous men and women employing it not. So I wish to have a try. Hope it operates very good.

I wonder if Daisy will sit for 5 mins if I give her a bowl of this stuff?!
The photo of A and the dogs is precious!!!! She looks right in her element.
Greg and I debate about how to prepare Brussels sprouts all the time. We both like them roasted- but it all comes down to cutting. He likes them whole, and I think they’re much better chopped up! Glad to see you’re on my team here.
This recipe was great! Your mother raised an awesome person and great cook, thanks for sharing have a great weekend!
Lucky for me, I can’t smell. And brussels sprouts taste oh-so-yummy. So I’m all good on this one!
Oh, and A’s little couch is outrageous. So outrageous that it made me miss noticing her equally outrageous little boots the first time around (yeah, I looked twice, what of it?). Cute, cute, cute!
Finally made these after having ur email saved in my inbox. I’m not a brussel sprouts fan but the hubby is so I’m making an effort. We both loved them and I’ll b making then again! Thanks Katie!
