This post should really go over in the Healthy Kitchen Tab, but I am so happy that I just have to put it here.
So, the brussel sprouts looked just so good to me in the grocery store yesterday that I had to snag them. Then, I had to get home and figure a way to get my boys to actually eat them! I remembered a recipe I had seen on Foodbuzz that had a maple syrup sauce for roasted brussel sprouts that looked really good. I wasn't going to all that trouble, so Id did the next best thing.
I chopped up broccoli, red bell pepper and halved the brussel sprouts. I drizzled them with olive oil and roasted them at 400 degrees (like I do any roasted vegetables) When they were done, just lightly browned on the edges, I took them out of the over and drizzled honey (yes, right out of the bear , although I think this one is organic) over the roasted vegetables.
When my oldest saw what he was actually eating, he began gagging and hacking - then, slowly, said, "Mmmmm, not bad". Middle son even complimented them. SUCCESS!
So, there you have it: A MIRACLE - a way to get the kiddos to eat brussel sprouts.
What are your sneaky tricks?
