I’ve mentioned to y’all many times, and left comments on many others blog posts that I lucked out in the kid department when it comes to vegetables.
My girls have always eaten pretty much everything that they are served. Which to me is kinda crazy, considering I grew up as one of the pickiest eaters ever.
I wouldn’t eat anything green, unless it was iceberg lettuce. I was forced to eat green beans at one point, and almost got sick to my stomach. That was the last time I was made to actually “just try it.” Ha.
When my girls were introduced to solid foods, I started experimenting with ALL the vegetables in the produce aisle. Including ones that I wouldn’t have even looked at growing up.
Maybe this is the reason that they eat everything?
I don’t know what the magic is to get your kids to eat green veggies, other than having them take a little bite, and prepare them in all sorts of ways.
Eating them all sorts of ways may give your kid the chance to find a way that they actually like them.
Brussels Sprouts are one of those veggies that most all kids turn their noses up at.
Heck, I only eat them certain ways….remember...I was uber picky growing up, and honestly, I still am.
One of the only ways that I will eat these green orbs is by roasting them. I have a couple of roasted sprouts recipes, and these are really the only ways that I eat them.
When I tossed in freshly grated parmesan cheese, and crunchy seasoned bread crumbs, I knew that this would be another great recipe that I would love.
This recipe is simple enough for a weeknight side, and perfect enough for the holiday table!
If you love sprouts, you’ll love these. If you have a kid that doesn’t love sprouts, try preparing them in a different way, you may be surprised that you run across one that they like!
Tips on the cooking the perfect brussels sprouts:
- Cut the stump off the end, slice in half, from top to root, remove the outer leaves. (usually one leaf on each side) Toss in a sink full of cold water.
- Give them a good shake in the water, remove, and place on a clean kitchen towel to pat dry.
- Always start with dry sprouts.
- You can omit the first step, and buy pre trimmed/sliced ones.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. You don't really want them overlapping one another.
Here are some of my favorite brussels sprouts recipes:
- Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apple, Bacon, and Cranberries
- Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Apple
- Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts

Your recipe looks so yummy! So far, I've never met a vegetable I don't like. My kids do pretty well, but only one of them likes brussels sprouts. I probably didn't serve them enough for them to develop a taste for them. They might just go for this recipe, though!

I love roasted brussels sprouts. Typically I only make them with olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. Occasionally, I add balsamic, but I've been getting tired of that recipe. Can't wait to give these a try. I love the crisp the sprouts get, especially that is usually my favorite part of roasting them.
