Quick Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Brussel Sprouts are not a very popular vegetable. Making a stir fry without so much as a sprinkle of water and finishing off with coconut is one way to cook them. My aunt had added them to Vegetable biryani which I tasted while I was visiting India last summer. They tasted good in that.

They can be made into a curry when paired with other vegetables like this Brinjal, Spinach and Brussel Sprouts Curry.

For some reason I avoid cooking curries, sambhar or poriyal with brussel sprouts but they are fantastic roasted and it is a much sought after snack or side in our house. Very easy to make and if you have a toaster oven there is no reason to fire up the big oven.
