At Christmas time I have to have Brussel sprouts on my plate. However this year I was reluctant to boil them, they just taste like old socks that way! I'd seen some recipes for them roasted with pancetta, but as a vegetarian that wasn't much good. I adapted the recipe, served them and my 67 year old father declared them the best he'd ever had. And he's had a lot!
Ingredients:
- Brussel sprouts
- Unsalted butter
- Parmesan cheese
- Chop the stumps off the Brussel sprouts, peel the outer layers, and cross the bottoms.
- Melt a sizeable knob of unsalted butter in a frying pan on a low heat. Toss in the Brussel sprouts and coat them with the butter.
- Transfer to a baking tray and sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top.
- Cook for 20 minutes on 200°C.

The Brussels tasted completely different to how boiled taste.

I dont do dairy never have never will, and I know there are substitutes but when you have spent over 50 years avoiding the stuff for intolerances reasons the psychological force against using anything else is too strong. I eat dry bread, dry toast, dry crackers, dry cereals, etc and as I did so do my kids, and so do my grandkids
I know we are weird but it takes all kinds to make the world.

These look really good. I love sprouts. My mum still tells the tale of how I would, as a toddler, eat all the leftover sprouts whenever they were served. Roasting veggies often gives them a completely different flavour I find.
-
These look so yummy, I remember you making them at xmas and I had good intentions to make them but haven't done yet!
-
These look delicious! We love our roasted with a little olive oil and salt but I'll have to try butter and parmesan!

I love brussel sprouts and would never have thought of parmesan or roasting, thanks for the idea.
