Roasted Brussels sprouts are a delicious and nutritious side dish rooted in European cuisine, particularly Belgian tradition where these miniature cabbages were first cultivated. Prepared simply by tossing Brussels sprouts in olive oil, salt, and pepper before oven-roasting, they develop a caramelized, slightly nutty flavor with crispy outer leaves and tender centers. Rich in vitamins C and K, along with folate, fiber, and antioxidants, roasted Brussels sprouts contribute to heart health, digestion, and immune support. Olive oil adds healthy fats, enhancing nutrient absorption, while keeping the dish light and wholesome. For those watching sodium or fat intake, moderation in seasoning and oil is key. Whether served alongside a hearty meal or enjoyed on their own, roasted Brussels sprouts embody simplicity and healthfulness, offering a satisfying way to incorporate nutrient-dense vegetables into any diet.
