Fall and Winter are great times for Brussels sprouts

Often overlooked, Brussels sprouts boast high levels of many nutrients and have been linked to several health benefits.

People often enjoy them roasted, boiled, sautéed or baked.

For a simple side dish, first cut off the ends of the Brussels sprouts. Mix the sprouts with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, and then roast them on a baking sheet until they’re crispy.

Brussels sprouts can also be added to pasta, frittatas or stir-fried dishes for a flavorful and nutritious dinner.
